Henry Ford made a car out of hemp and fueled on hemp. It was much cleaner than gas and 25% cheaper. One quarter of US was run on hemp fuel. Rockefeller banned it and stayed with gas and oil along with Rockefeller mainstream hospital and Pharmaceutical coded corporations corruption ever since.

Like the Indains, don't ever trust the Government and their owners Trust the idea of electric cars. Electric cell phones can see everything we do. The same with electric cars they can shut you down your car or excelerate your car off a cliff. Or control whereever you travel.

The average person can not afford a $60,000, electric car. I will stick to my $6000 total cost budget, including everything for my car per year.
No, electric cars have zero emissions. They don't emit CO2 while being driven, yet they do it in 3 other stages: during manufacturing, energy production and at the end of their life cycle. In the first case, the need for mining activities to extract the rare earth metals that are used in batteries is very energy consuming and polluting.
The energy production, is powered with energy from burning fossil fuels, it is still releasing CO2 in the atmosphere, not from the tailpipe but from some distant power plant. When it comes to batteries being recycled, it is still an expensive and ongoing process and most batteries are not being recycled yet. Some countries are already realizing this and that’s why they are fostering the growth of the electric cars market, mostly by giving fiscal benefits that make the cars economically more competitive.

My tiny housing community lowers carbin footprint more than anything by wind and solar energy and space.
The second greatest cost in life is transportation. India make a car that cost $2000 and most drive it. I'm doing the same with tiny house communities. Transportation is a bigger challenge. The public transportation is a better option than using individual vehicles if we want to lower our carbon footprint, so shouldn’t we be more worried about. At the same time, some scientists say that the sharing economy of cars, or even motorbikes or bicycles, will be the next stage in the evolution of mobility, with new business models already being developed.
Let’s embrace

Shrek in his imaginary world , gets his energy from the swamp, which is nature. I have environmental good friends in our off grid community who know how to create green energy. Yet it's illegal because it's alternative or black market energy, like my medicine,, food and tiny housing for the large market. So we can not share globallly because Government ruins everything they touch.

People are forced to buy electric cars.

I've lived off grid solely that ran by wind and solar. And ran my sculpture shop from it too. Where is the phoney balony government investment there. A whole city of 3 million in China mostly run on green energy

How do US Politicians see the future? Don't they know they are using fossil fuel to run those electric energy pumps and it causing more environmental damage. It's a total sham.[engineerine.com]

@Castlepaloma If Elon Musk knocks on my door and threatens to taser me unless I buy a Cybertruck then I will invite him inside for a cup of coffee and a chat about the Cybertruck that I so want to drive. Until then I will resist the tyranny of the EV cartel and their attempts to force me to buy an EV.

@SnowyOwl

If your making over a $100grand.a year, go for it. Remember Musk believes there will be a problem with not enough population in the future. Why not, fuck the poor and the old.
