Electric Vehicle and the Economy
Electric vehicles are great for vehicular diversity which creates competition. In a free market system, when competition is created, as "anyone with any economic literacy" should know, the consumer wins. This is because gasoline car companies and electric car companies work harder and harder to convince you to buy their product. As a result they have to bring the best performance to the table at lower and lower prices.
