   Even if she wanted to she can't due to the need to get Congress and   
   the other states to go along.   
   Too many places that would never accept getting rid of gas/diesel   
   powered vehicles. Heck, I like the idea of EVs but I wouldn't want one   
   until they have much more development. I'm not so worried about the   
   way they behave in cold but I don't care for the long recharge times   
   with the need to recharge every few hundred miles. (Yes, even though   
   they may have 300 mile range they say to lengthen the time the   
   batteries last you shouldn't recharge it to more than 80% of the   
   capacity.)

   What about the need to produce food? EVs aren't exactly a good option   
   for many farms and without farms there won't be food to keep those   
   voters alive.
