Mandates by 2035 sound bold but ignore grid capacity, mineral supply, and affordability. Heavy incentives get you 80% of the way there without forcing people who can't afford an EV into a corner.

Yes. A 2035 ban gives automakers a clear deadline, cuts pollution fast, and stops dragging our feet on a transition that's already underway.

People are split on this. Some argue strict bans are necessary for the climate, while others believe incentives are better to protect consumer choice and the economy.
