@albyva Completely agree that the EV transition poses major social questions and infrastructure challenges for an automobile-based society like US. Hence need for subsidized cash for clunker program to start folks off into EV era & big spend on fast charging.
@RobAtkinsonITIF I completely agree on TOP priority for R&D. But the trade-off you postulate is not real, is it? R&D is a ten billion or hundred billion dollar item. Retiring asap the most polluting vehicles and then the rest is a trillion dollar scrapping challenge.
There are 250 m cars, SUV and trucks on American roads. Practically all of them are internal combustion engine. Subsidizing new EV is great. But getting this polluting stock off the road has to be a key priority. We need a green cash for clunkers program. thedailyshot.com/2021/04/16/low… https://t.co/EcAcSBIeWk
