I see a lot of closed minds here. Electric is the future, wether you like it or not. Making the federal fleet electric is a good step toward pushing through the infrastructure, as well as giving engineers and scientist more incentive to innovate. Just because in your tiny little world view you can’t imagine it being possible, doesn’t mean we can’t make it possible. I suppose all of you who are finding fault with electric vehicles all have electrical engineering doctorates? Chemistry doctorates? You’ve designed, manufactured, and tested all of the different types of electric charging stations, batteries, and power generators like solar, wind, water, etc?

There are people who have studied this stuff intensely for decades whose full time job is to make it viable. It becomes more and more viable every year. Im 100% pro green power, having been an oilfield worker for a decade I would really like to see us advance past our dependency on fossil fuels. We will never get completely away from fossil fuels, but the less we can use the better.

You all gotta stop being afraid of change and embrace it, cause it’s comin wether you want it or not. You can grow with the world or die mad about it and the world will grow without you.

While we are riding around in death trap electric cars China will still be building more tanks and air craft carriers but keep smoking pixie dust and thinking one day we'll all be living in rainbows and fruit loop cereal commercials.

Not exactly sure what electric vehicle they think is going to pull heavy trailers or even four wheelers around.

Like Solyndra, i image some of Bidens money launderer's suddenly are the owners of electric cars batterys or some start up company in need of gov. funding. Basically same deal as when Obama was in office, a few get filthy rich while millions suffer, that's the communist way though right?

50 years ago, everything was points ignition and carbs. Electronic ignition came around,and everyone said it was crap, and some of it was, but now everything has it. Now ignition systems don't even have any moving parts. Emissions systems came out, and they were garbage, shops used to advertise that they remove emissions devices. Now everything has it, and you can't even tell. Lots of cars don't actually have an egr valve anymore, it's done through variable cam timing. Fuel injection came out, and mechanics that it was garbage, that it was super hard to work on, but now you wouldn't have it any other way. It's efficient, lasts forever, and there's no fiddling with it.

Gasoline engines are the best thing going right now, but technology advances. 50 years from now, gasoline engines will look as ancient and archaic as points and distributors and carbs do now. They'll still be around, but it'll be old technology.

And in the 60's everyone thought we would be flying around in flying cars like the Jetson's by now. Now everything has sensor's from one end to the other and shade tree do it yourself mechanic's is out the window. Have to go a 'certified dealership' to have anything done at 175.00 an hour or more!

IF the technology works people would buy it, not have to be FORCED into it whether it works or not. But i guess we no longer like a free market system, easier to get behind a communist rule system and let our leaders decide what we need and don't need.

Is incredible to me how gullible outdoorsmen are, i expect from the sandal wearing San Fransisco crowd but didn't know we had climate change loving trappers, may as well join the humane society too while your at it, is all the same bunch. One group telling another group what they can and can't do based on what they think everyone should do.

It's still CRAP it's just that people have been forced to use it. Give me points and a carb any day. The worst thing ever put in a car was electronics. If a car with points and a carb isn't running, there are three things it can be. If your new car isn't running, good luck fixing it without a PHD in electronics. Emission control is also CRAP! Cars run much better without it. You have just been brainwashed over the years to think these things are great.
