Should the government provide subsidies to taxpayers who purchase an electric vehicle?

Yes

No, electric cars can create just as much and possibly even more waste to the environment based off the manufacturing pollution, and non recyclable materials the cars can be made with.

I believe the world should be less focused around cars and should make things more in walking distance. I want a society where cars aren't a requirement.

No this is the government forcing consumers to buy a certain product which is interference in the market

Yes, but the government should provide subsidies to taxpayers who purchase domestically-made vehicles regardless of energy source

I believe electric vehicles are not the best path forward for better environmental and infrastructure-related policy. The USA infrastructure is far too heavily car dependent - especially when compared to certain European countries.
I dislike how in many regions in the U.S. many people essentially are "required" to have a car to get to work or other essential regions in a time-efficient manner. Additionally, having a car - be it gas, electric or hybrid - is often very expensive for upkeep, repairs, insurance and so on; leaving many poor, working-class members of society…  Read more having to use either bikes - where many regions do not have bike lanes; putting bike riders in more danger than otherwise - or have to rely on the currently-existing outdated public transportation system. Some roads do not even have sidewalks for pedestrians.
On top of that - car infrastructure upkeep such as highways, is extremely expensive for the taxpayers Rather, I would prefers significantly more focus on funding better train infrastructure -such as a far more expanded / expansive high-speed railway system - as well as ween our society away from being as extremely car dependent as it currently is.

No to trucks and SUVs, yes to compact vehicles / micromobility Ebikes

No, we should move towards car free and walk-able cities as that will help combat climate change and reducing our use of fossil fuel.

If the vehicle is just sitting there not being used don't think it should be taxed but if its being used regularly and consistently it should be taxed normally

The government should provide subsidies to taxpayers who buy American purchases valued over a large amount. Large amount to be determined by an amount where the subsidy and purchase amount would benefit the tax payer and government.

No, it should provide subsidies to the companies that will incentivize automakers to switch to electric vehicle production.

Yes, but only sedans, light trucks, and crossover SUVs/Minivans to reduce car size and increase pedestrian safety

Yes, but there should be regulation concerning how often these subsidies can be received as buying a new electric vehicle every year is more detrimental to the environment than keeping a gas clunker.

No, the people who will receive the subsidy are the people who can most readily afford a new vehicle. This doesn't help to convert people who are driving old gas combustion automobiles to EV's

While both sides are valid, and the tax clause provides an incentive for people to switch the type of energy they use. There are too many stipulations in order for the program to be effective. Not to mention the capabilities of the electric cars on the market not being able to hold to their petrol counter parts. It should be a slow burn change.

No, but the government should provide some sort of alternate incentive for the switch to green transportation.

Only for e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, and subsidies for electric buses, because manufacture of electric cars has high cradle to grave environmental impacts; still wear out roads, create additional particulates with braking, and cause traffic jams.

No, companies are incentivized to charge more for their electric vehicles if the government will cover part of the cost.

Moving away from vehicles as a whole should be encouraged, so public transportation gains more financial support and allow cities to be more accessible.

No, even if electric energy is cleaner than fossil fuels, people who buy electric cars shouldn't receive special treatment.

No, electric vehicles should be made a more financially viable option in regards to purchase price and maintenance cost. There should be more of a priority placed on free public transportation that is environmentally friendly rather than individual, private vehicles.

No, not everyone can afford an electric vehicle and at some point, the batteries are going to die out causing vast backups at landfills. Actions should be in place now as to how to recycle the batteries into new batteries so that when the time comes, there is already a plan to implement to reduce the negative impacts on the environment and landfills

Yes, but this should only be used until the total percentage of car ownership in the country has reached atleast 60%

Yes, the government should provide subsidies to taxpayers who purchase or support any sustainable and renewable energy initiatives.

No, the gover should not be providing government subsidies or tax breaks. Abolish the Income Tax and IRS.

Yes, as long as said vehicle, has proper safety features and made of proper material property in comparison to other vehicles.

Yes, but regulate the cost of electric vehicles to make them more accessible to low or mid-income people.

No because not everyone can afford one. If they were affordable no matter the class your in then yes.

The government should focus more on public transportation and less car dependency regardless of if the personal vehicle is gas powered or electric.

No, subsidies are better invested in regenerative agriculture, national park preservation, and promising sustainable energy

No, not right now, the power grid isn’t to the scale to support the transition to fully electric vehicles

It's a good idea, but soon everyone that buys an electric vehicle will expect payment in return and it'll be draining

Depends on the effectiveness that the electric vehicle has on helping out on the climate crisis compared to general gas dependent vehicles.

No, electric vehicles are not clean or green, if anything the government should regulate the insurance companies so less cars go to the land fill, and subsidize maintaining and buying used efficient vehicles.

Yes, but only as a stopgap until public transportation is common everywhere, as that should be the end goal.

No, electric vehicles should be promoted as an environmentally friendly option, but the government shouldn't financially incentivize private purchases.

Yes, because states are trying to tax people by mile instead of gas. someone doesnt like saving money

Yes, but as long as the U.S. actively increases the correct infrastructure to support electric vehicles

No, because the energy is not clean how do you think they get the energy, They get it from burning fossil fuels witch is what they are trying to eliminate. Also it would keep people from buying those cars ,they have killed many people .

Yes, the government should allow citizens to trade in oil based vehicles for electric vehicles with funding from the government.

No. There is no evidence that EVs are a viable alternative to gas powered cars and a substantial body of evidence that the switch to EVs cannot be made. The government should not reward people for buying into a political agenda and false narrative.

not with the current state of electrical vehicles because they are still just as harmful as fossil fuel powered vehicles

No, The prices for an electric car it’s higher that the regular cars, you should work a lot to get that money pay a lot of taxes so no you earned that

Yes, and also provide higher subsidies to low & middle income people so that they can partake in this.

No, it is not fair to those who cannot afford one. And it is not healthier for the environment in the end.

Yes, but we need to have a plan in place for what to do with electric vehicles when the no longer function

Yes, but also for any move towards renewable energy based transportation and proportional to the cost of doing so.
