Which is why I am all for subsidies into research for electric vehicles but I do NOT want to see them codified into law or ICE codified out of existence. The consumers (us) need to dictate their needs and the market respond accordingly. What works in NYC doesn't necessarily work in LA and doesn't necessarily work in Pecos, Texas and doesn't necessarily work in Minnesota.
