But why? I respect your fervor on the subject, yet the percieved benefit isn’t there yet. The environmental argument would be a lot more realistic if the push was to use electric public transportation rather than personal use. As is it’s more of a financial rather than ecological transfer.

Our local city bus company just ordered more CNG powered buses to replace the last of their diesels. They have other CNG buses, so this made sense. They said hydrogen is not there yet, nor battery powered.

My point was that anything which actually is geared toward reducing pollution and congestion would start with public transportation. Yet it’s rarely mentioned because there’s no money in it.

Do we still have an annual budget? I remember something about that.

Yep, it’s spend and print as much as you can.

Now back to your regular religion.

50K is too much for me to pay for any vehicle.

With the federal and provincial rebates, mine went from 56K to 43K.

Yes, virtue signaling at restaurants where one might add 30 miles (big "whoopee") of range to a Tesla in an hour. But really practical at hotels where one may park overnight.

That’s still too much, unless I can make money with it. I don’t have the time, interest or energy to get into landscaping though.
