Sure we'd also get along fine if there were no Hummers at all, gas or electric. But some people are going to make Hummers and some people are going to buy them. If the ones they buy are electric that's still a net win.

Sure but they should be taxed heavily based on height. The heavier vehicles are, the more maintenance and faster the roads wear out. That road maintenance need to be financed.

Well, if the amount of green energy doesn't grow fast enough, then switching to EV uses the same dirty carbon based energy, but require more of it.
