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.

No, I’m skeptical of the viability of electric vehicles so we should provide subsidies to private companies that compete to build the best network. The government should focus and improving public transportation

While electric vehicles sound like a good idea on paper, they are currently not sustainable or scalable, and are currently environmentally much worse than biofuels and niche energy such as hydrogen
No, we should build rail instead.
Yes, but only to aid in the transition away from a car-centric society.
