Question
Statement: Should electric vehicles (EVs) be
made mandatory for all new vehicle purchases in urban areas? Arguments: I. Yes, because electric vehicles reduce air pollution and help combat climate change. II. No, because the current charging infrastructure is inadequate, and mandating EVs could inconvenience consumers.Solution
Argument I is strong because it highlights a positive and relevant impact—EVs reduce pollution and help tackle environmental concerns, which directly supports the idea behind the policy. Argument II is also strong as it points out a practical limitation. If infrastructure is lacking, a mandate could create difficulties for consumers, making the implementation ineffective or burdensome.
