### Instruction: Write a brief passage arguing for mandating Electric Vehicles (EVs) over gas combustion vehicles in the United States.
### Response: Electric Vehicles (EVs) provide several key benefits to the United States over Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. Firstly, EVs are powered strictly by electricity, which can be produced by renewable methods such as solar or wind power. Secondly, EVs produce significantly less greenhouse gases than ICEs, which will help reduce our carbon footprint and help improve the effects of climate change. Thirdly, EVs are safer and require less maintenance than ICEs, as there is no engine and less moving parts, and there is not a flammable fuel in the vehicle.
