This was just posted on my local news channel's page today about how First responders, fire fighters and law enforcement and Animal Control officers can break into any car and rescue the dog, if they have probable reason to believe that the dog is too hot to be in a car. First of all I'm totally for this bill, and it's horrible for anyone to leave a dog in a hot car, but are all first responders and law enforcement and fire fighters going to have to carry leashes with them? If someone runs into the grocery store for a couple of minutes, but leaves the windows cracked open, and a first responder, who happens to be in the parkinglot, who is not experienced on how to deal with dogs tries to get a dog out of the car, and the dog is scared and runs away, or bites them, than what happens? There is no excuse to leave a dog in a hot car, it is horrible, but these are just some cases I'm concerned about where something could go wrong with first responders trying to break into cars. Furthermore, someone else made a comment about some electric cars are hard to tell if it's running. Some neighbors of theirs apparently have an electric car, and the ac can be controlled by a cell phone. So, these first responders would have to make sure the car is not running, because those types of cars are really quiet. Here is the web address to the story.

Answer
Yes, more often than not, bills are passed based on one situation. There is another ban trying to make itself legal. Animals are not allowed in the front seat of cars. Not on a passenger seat or driver seat. I understand if you have a dog in your lap it is unsafe, but honestly I don't understand the deal if a dog is chilling in the passenger seat.
...Nevermind that. I understand your point. Breaking into a car can cause serious damage to the vehicle, especially if it is all in vain. What if the a/c IS running? Electric cars are awfully quiet. Sometimes, having a window open isn't the best thing, either. It lets hot air in. If there isn't any breeze, the dog can be hotter in a car with the window open.
Honestly I think it is a wonderful thing in some cases. I personally helped rescue a Rat Terrier. I'm proud of that. If the car was electric and the a/c was running and yet the police STILL broke in, I would feel horrible. And there is an endless amount of ways the law enforcement can have their @ss on fire for this, too. Someone could get sued.
Disaster is waiting to happen. We can just hope our law enforcement is smart enough to figure out the signs that the a/c isn't running and that the dog isn't happy.
Hope I helped! ~ <3

See Motor Trend Magazine August 2013, page 24. Coda electric cars now out of business. Volt has a sticker price of $40,000 and Chevrolet loses money on every one it sells. Nissan Leaf has a price tag of $37,000. Fiat will sell it's electric 500 for $36,000. But it loses rear seat room and takes 24 hours to recharge. Tesla is profitable. But selling 20,000 cars annually at a cost of $75,000 each, they will not make a dent in the auto market.
Answer
America needs to tax the electric needed to recharge these cars like they tax gasoline for road repairs
tesla is only popular because its a sports car that delivers some performance, the other ones are just shoe box looking crapola
