Reliability - Toyota proves to be #1 on longevity list, & Prius is high, within Toyota's lineup.

Road salt
Lots of reasons to hate the stuff. Rusting cars, infrastructrure (bridges, concrete, especially rebar), changing fresh water lakes/rivers, to the point marine species are able to live in them.
Good discussion of alternatives/adjuncts (beet juice/salt mix for example), and "low hanging fruit", like: do we really need a centemeter deep layer of rock salt throughout our parking lots and mall sidewalks?
Also the question, is a completely bare road necessary?
My thought: maybe wider adoption of snow tires could reduce the need for salt.

Barnaby Joyce rejects petrol car sales ban amid Coalition debate on electric vehicles
It almost seems that if when there is a change of government this situation will change. Would this uncertainty make for difficult long term decisions for buying new cars? It almost seems the safest bet would be to buy a plugin hybrid, so as to not get stuck with a car that will lose too much of it's value dependent on the decision of the government of the day.
Or am I mistaken? What do other people here think?
