OK, fair enough, but what about allowing them in cities at least? Since a lot of emmisions are from cities, then why not allow them there instead? Makes sence to me, what about you?

Hell yea! Let’s not forget the fact that gas prices are through the roof. Gas prices are getting to the point now that it costs more for gas than it does for car payments and insurance.
I’m all for an electric car. Just as long as they keep the cost of them reasonable, I’m sure they’ll have more buyers than they could shake a stick at.
This is just my opinion, and you’re entitled to it.
