Whomever said EVs reducing urban air pollution is spot on and a big benefit in the confines of urban/inner city environments. I agree.
Can’t say if more pollution or a differnet pollutant is being created elsewhere that reduces or negates the positive effect of urban EVs.
But by the oft correct “dilution is the solution to pollution” moniker, Evs are very good for this particular reduction in pollution.

I do agree that for off road EV may not be a wise choice.
I keep a couple 5gal jugs in the back. Usually only fill them if there is a long remote run or if we plan to use the generator a lot.

"Which Republicans have said is going nowhere on Capitol Hill"
Amazing! A totally irrelevant article. BTW, when corporations/businesses lose current tax breaks/incentives, or pay increased taxes, they don't pay one more dime. You the consumer ultimately pay for it.

10 Dirty Truths Of Electric Cars Nobody Is Talking About
Enjoy everyone!!!!!!
Right, because drilling for fossil fuels and the refinements of those fuels is clean and without excess energy use. Never any problems.
Actually, unlike many close minded people I like hearing and reading two different sides of a topic. Cheers to your travels
Yours as well.
Yes, there are two sides. You should check it out.

$7500 per car exceeds $20B by a lot for only 1% of the market. Yes there are subsidies all over but per car sold massively favor ev.
Early on government literally fought ice and only because it was so much better did it become the standard. The subsidies are mostly about reliability of fuel supply...except when strategic reserves are sold for political purposes.
