While electric cars are cleaner, we must remember that the car itself as a concept is horribly unoptimized.

To me, making electric cars mandatory just pushes the problem further. You're still moving 1.5t of steel for a 80kg human being and his groceries.

The main issue isn't the ICE cars, it's that our current society needs them. I can't think of many people that say "Hell yeah I'm gonna get stuck in traffic jams for 2h while going to work".

Pretty sure people would move closer to jobs if they could even afford rent....

Sure it's great that we're changing to electric, but it's still not as good as what things could be if we were to design cities with efficient public transports. Not mentioning that electric cars have a high upfront cost and that battery productions may not always follow.

I mean,

The best car is the one we never need to use.
