[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1771277, member: 42715"] But if electric vehicles come to be considered a utility-type need like water or electricity itself, government will need to be involved. Buses and even taxis/Uber might make sense. But government involvement should lead to the cheapest cost possible, not subsidies. No one argues government shouldn’t be involved in electricity, water, or roads, etc. I’d be fine with involvement in vehicles if they showed cost was lowered by 20-30% over private companies because they were able to get the new infrastructure in place better and involvement produced a more shock-proof market. But unlikely, because cars vary from a utility to a luxury, so leave it to the private market in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
