If you can get past all the environmental and political junk..... EVs are fun to drive.

Admittedly, I’ve never driven one (but would love to!), but after once having gotten the opportunity to drive a diesel / traction motor locomotive (a switch engine, with over 1.25 million pounds in tow!!), the traction motor torque was incredible (and no transmission!).

I believe EV’s must be truly outstanding to drive, and that ultimately EV’s should stand alone on their own unfettered and fact-based merits…It’s in this light that I restrict my own criticisms to taxpayer funded subsidies (i.e. narrative-based wealth redistribution schemes), and ‘assertions’ surrounding a ‘net’ reduction in carbon…JMHO

I agree that additional incentives are unneeded. I believe it would be best to let the original plan come to an end as originally provided.

Although at some point I could see an additional pollution tax added to ICE vehicles or to the fuel they burn. Way too soon at this point but as EVs reach 50%+ of sales I could see this happening.
