Car dependency and car centric planning, with as much as 40% of urban areas being dedicated to cars parked and moving, are the culprits and EVs do nothing to improve that.

Sure they're better, I drive one, but what we really need is to go back to basics where the need to commute by car is the exception and not the rule.

15-minute cities, walkable communities, Transit Oriented Development--- we need these things plus electrification of our fleet.
