But at what cost?
That’s literally the whole point of electric cars!!! Shut up shut up shut up
electric cars are almost as bad as gas cars. at least it gets china out of the petro scheme the usa has
Yes, but China invests heavily in high speed rail and electric buses and electric bikes too.
Also what I’ve seen from the “electric car” industry is that some of the top sellers are like between a small usamerican car and a souped up golf cart.
To be sure, laotoule are a magnificent, but dangerous invention that transports many uncles and aunties.
Is it inherently dangerous or is it a result of sharing the road with larger vehicles?
Probably both tbh, larger vehicles don’t help though.
In terms of carbon emissions, not even close. In terms of environmental impact, not really. In terms of societal impact, a car is a car, the fewer the better.
it halves it but its still not nearly enough for a green transition. things like ebikes, trams, trains, e-buses, etc. are much more important to focus on over cars
For sure buses, bicycles, and trains would be miles and miles better for the environment and for society, but halving emissions is not “almost as bad.”
The best car is still no car.
Electric cars and regional trains having around the same impact
Well, guess it’s time for the Green liberals to gut regional train infrastructure in favor of more car-centric cities over here
I think the issue is these are categories as measured. Regional train infrastructure is ass and doesnt have many passengers if it were modernized it may be fine
Oh fuck my e-scooter is worse than an EV car???
Its e scooters used by those ride sharing apps afaik, those have gigantic turnover. Normal e scooters are right above ebikes
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Yeah… that- that was the point. What did you think the point of switching to electric vehicles and green energy was?
Turns out the point was so the west could moralize the developing world about their increasing energy use.
Despite Saudis blocking measures etc.? Great!
