In 2022 the European Union, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. state of California approved regulations banning the sale of new gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2035. Plug-in hybrids, full electrics and hydrogen cell vehicles would all count toward the zero-emission targets, though auto makers will only be able to use plug-in hybrids to meet 20% of the overall requirement. The regulation will impact only new-vehicle sales and affects only manufacturers, not dealerships. Traditional internal-combustion vehicles will still be legal to own and drive after 2035, and new models can still be sold until 2035. Volkswagen and Toyota have said they aim to sell only zero-emission cars in Europe by that time.

Yes
@9H8STGM5mos5MO
More charging stations accelerate the shift to electric vehicles, cut reliance on fossil fuels, and align with global efforts to combat climate change.
@9FFQHPC7mos7MO
if there aren't charging stations available that creates problems for everyone. electric vehicle owners will not be able to drive and may end up stranded on the road. other cars will be affected because traffic will be slow with all the dead cars on the road.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
No
@9H8STGM5mos5MO
Enhanced accessibility to electric vehicle charging stations encourages widespread adoption, supporting sustainability and addressing convenience concerns.
@9G99RYQ6mos6MO
Electric vehicles will improve the environment and decrease the amount of pollution from gas vehicles. Charging stations do cost money and resources, but they are worth it in the long term.
@9FFQHPC7mos7MO
if there are gas stations everywhere why should electric vehicles have less accessibility to charge their cars?

@9KC6XPW2mos2MO
Yes, if they use renewable energy sources BUT electric vehicles are NOT the answer, they create a whole new slew of environmental problems and tax the planet.
@9JZ4BJ32mos2MO
Expanding charging infrastructure can support the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, contributing to environmental goals. Opponents may question the financial feasibility and argue for private sector involvement. It's akin to discussing whether the government should provide facilities that benefit the community.
@9JVRZ2Z2mos2MO
Yes if they use renewable energy sources. Should still be able to purchase gasoline powered vehicles as there is no infrastructure to across Canada. Also, the cold weather decreases battery power. Need to be able to charge your car with a regular 3 prong plug or ensure each house is equipped to charge and electric vehicle.
@9JLF2GL3mos3MO
infostructure needs to be build for both EV's and gas vehicle's. in the future gas infostructure needs to be maintained incase of emergency.
@9HV5QFW4mos4MO
No, I am skeptical of the viability of electric vehicles for many reasons, and we should focus on expanding public transportation
@9HLHYFV5mos5MO
yes, but only using renewable energy source and the people aquiring the resourses have workers rights included
@9H5WBYL5mos5MO
Electric vehicles need to be adapted to more northern climates first so that they can be more reliable, once that happens I might say yes.
@9GPGW7SNew Democratic6mos6MO
Yes, but only if they use renewable energy sources, and focusing more on improving public transportation
@9FQ2ZJY7mos7MO
Only in areas where ev makes sense. Arctic and subarctic climates should focus on alternatives
@9FJSRV97mos7MO
Yes, but there also needs to be a focus on improving public transportation
@9F85KSF8mos8MO
the raw materials for making the car have to be mined and the process of mining creates a lot of greenhouse gases. Then the raw materials have to be refined before they can be used which again emits more greenhouse gas so no we should not.
@9F5KMPV8mos8MO
Invest in charging stations for electric videos. Make electric videos more affordable.
@9GNXXXT6mos6MO
Yes, we can have a part, but also encourage developers, as well as companies to also build and maintain their own infrastructure too.
@9FYP94M7mos7MO
Companies making these vehicles should be responsible as an industry, for the cost of constucting what is required to provide greater access to charging stations.
@9FW96MT7mos7MO
Electric cars i presume. They need roads, they need to be build and maintained. And they need place to be stored. Building underground or multiple storage houses for this, neither a good solutions. Having walkable cities and good public transit leads to less spending on cars and infrastructure based on cars, it open more areas for useful jobs and homes.
Yes, but do it with provinces, cities and even private businesses.
@9CQJF7L10mos10MO
No, there are better green energy options that are silenced.
@9C6HD5Z11mos11MO
No, provide incentives to private companies that compete to build the best network instead
@9BVK49712mos12MO
NO EV will die as no replacement for lithium is anywhere. EV is not a viable plan moving forward past 10 years. The amount of infrastructure to power an electric grid is impossible by todays economic and industrial means. We would need to increase production 5 times our current rate to meet any demands this is a mathematical impossibility
@9BK2RQ61yr1Y
Provide subsidies/grants, as well as have federal buildings equipped with them so that they can grow and develop across the country.
@99G42KB1yr1Y
The government can, but they shouldn't invest in it.
@99F7DQZ1yr1Y
No, they should invest in public transit instead
@998DY731yr1Y
No, invest in rail and other public transportation services first and foremost
@995WHT51yr1Y
no, while batteries are harmful to the environment, fossil fuels aren't better, we should focus funding on finding a better source of power automotive vehicles
@99449XL1yr1Y
Yes, only for the owners of electric vehicles.
@992PZ5B1yr1Y
Maybe when electric vehicles are of a larger capacity
@98ZSNKV1yr1Y
The government needs to build infrastructure depending on the projected number of vehicles . Ample amount but no waste
Yes, on the condition that these charging stations run on 100% renewable energy. Running a charging station by burning fuel is ironic, and absolutely counterproductive
Yes but there needs to be an increased reliance on public transport. The issue is with our over reliance on individual vehicle ownership and the infrastructure that requires.
@98TLB6M1yr1Y
No, not until we build the infrastructure needed.
@ALcubbybear881yr1Y
No, but increase incentives for automakers to increase the production of hybrids, electric, hydrogen, solar, and ethanol powered vehicles
@98S47971yr1Y
Depends if there going to be more electric cars
electric cars are killing the world becuase of all of the mine to even make a single car battery for ectactric cars. example: tesla. takes so much mine just to make a tesla battery. screw elon musk. so no
@98PQTLX1yr1Y
No, the free market should deal with it
@98PJVYW1yr1Y
It should be both, gas and electric options available
@9D5HV3N9mos9MO
No. This should be up to the private corporations that manufacture the products that need electric charging.
