Ultimately, it comes down to consumer choice. Some people prefer internal combustion engine vehicles, while others prefer fully electric vehicles. Personally, I think hybrids offer the best balance of efficiency, convenience, and flexibility.
There is an expectation that the government would look for the best interest of its people and safety considerations are a must. Seatbelts were introduced in 1949, but the first federal law mandating seat belts in all new cars took effect on January 1, 1968. Should the government be concerned with the environment? How about offering a tax credit for those purchasing an EV?
Ultimately, I believe the government should let consumers decide which technology best meets their needs.
