re: Electric cars save gas. Don't ask how long the tires last....

Gotcha, and I must've missed all the road damage arguments, this is the first I've heard that one. I'd be on your side on that one since there are significantly heavier vehicles of all types using the road daily, but again, you are the first person I've seen reference that.

I am just against any gov mandates of EVs and although I personally like most EVs, I believe any impact to the environment or added costs to the consumer should be pointed out and argued to build opposition to mandates.
