    My doubt about electric vehicles is based on my doubt that the automotive industry will produce a quality product at a reasonable price. They’re no different than any other short-term profit based business.

      I agree. They seem to put everything in the cars and sell them as luxury EVs. Give me a basic car for $15k.

      My doubt is based on the fact that public transportation and bicycle infrastructure is the obvious better and more environmentally economical solution for the majority of the population that lives in cities.

      I say this as a gear head, do we really want people on the roads that don’t want to be driving? It should be a choice, not a requirement. Plus, driving in cities sucks.
