I think that electric vehicles should not be mandatory. Many states are trying to force the use of electric vehicles because they believe it will help the environment. This is not totally true because the processes it takes to make the vehicles is creating greenhouse gasses. In 2035, California is requiring all new cars to be electric. This does not mean that you cannot drive a gas vehicle, they are just not going to sell new gas operated vehicles anymore. They are trying to eliminate the use of gas vehicles but electric vehicles are not suitable for many reasons. They have to be charged at a specific station that are harder to find and farther away from each other then Gas stations. They also take longer to charge than it does to pump gas. They also can not go as far at a full charge as some gas operated vehicles and have a higher initial cost and to replace their batteries is very expensive. Many of the electric vehicles are not safe in extreme hot or cold weather and it can make them unpredictable. They are also not as good at making their way up steep hills and cliffs because of the lack of power they provide. In Conclusion I believe Electric vehicles are far inferior to combustion engine vehicles.
