I don't want to change vehicles they can improve more on emissions where we don't have to change. These changes are going to cost people thousands of dollars they don't have. Good for the people it might fit. I live in the country and we have 6 months of brutal cold weather. The EV cars don't do well in the cold the batteries don't hold their charge. I can't afford to insulate my garage and heat it. I have a 39 minute drive to town to get groceries. I have a second home 300 miles away which I am back in the woods a mile off the road same conditions I have at my other place. Not feasible for either place. I burn natural gas at one place and propane at the other. With our conditions solar doesn't work well because we're lucky if we get 7 scattered days out of 6 month with sun which you need with solar plus the heavy snow and ice blocks them and they don't work. So emissions are needed for cars, and heating for areas like mine. I'm in Michigan. I'm on a fixed income cannot afford to replace everything that would need changed. My electric bill with gas is already almost $400 a month if with other it would over double close to triple that I can't afford that.
