I have good news. You can do something about climate change and your republican neighbors will hug you! EV technology has reached a tipping point. In commercial applications, EV replacing gas will save money, a lot of money. Let your local state and federal government representatives know that you want fossil fuel reduced by 50% by 2030. Ask them to require the light vehicle managers to evaluate costs for EV compare to gas and purchase the option that cost less. Ask them to consolidate their purchase plans with others in the state.
Why are EV life cycle costs now less expensive? Let take police cars to illustrate. Police cars drive 100 to 150 miles a day. Almost 0 long trips. So charge every night back to 256 mile range covers 100% of their needs. Did you know the expected life of EV drive trains is 1,000,000 miles? New ( and cheaper) LFP batteries have an expected life of 1,000,000 miles. So instead of a 4 year life from gas cars, EV will have a 12 year life, save 85% of a gas car fuel bill and have lower maintenance cost. Buy 1 car over 12 years not 4.

20% of light vehicles are use 50% of gas. Most of these case are commercial use like delivery vans, police cars, Uber and so on.

It is not widely known that cars driven 8 to to 10 hours a day will cost 1/2 that of gas cars.

Get the word out to your government that you want transportation cost to drop by 50% by 2030. And 50%?less fossil fuel burned. Plan now for the switch.
