    Well yeah. I don’t think EVs are for the mass consumer yet. They remain quite expensive and remain unreliable.

    Hybrids, like Toyota Corolla Hybrid, get 50+ mpg and are only $24k. If you can’t afford PHEV or EV, then drop down to the next tier. Hybrids exist for a reason and will have significant emissions saving / carbon emissions reduction compared to a normal car, by simply burning a fraction of the gasoline of a normal car.


    I also don’t believe that we can buy or consumer our way out of this problem. Your actual biggest way to minimize your emissions is to find a bus.

      yep, there’s just no way to build cars for everyone without completely destroying the planet…
      we’ve already mostly destroyed it…
