That may be true in the US and other countries dominated by suburbs (Australia?). However, I can't see that happening that quickly in dense cities in Europe - the cities just won't install millions of chargers required along all streets where people park quickly enough.
- ashtonkem 5y agoEuropean cities should start banning cars regardless of what they're powered with, they do not fit into their older cities and they make everything worse. They should double down on public transit, and push cars out to where they provide more benefit than drawback.
- burntoutfire 5y agoThat would make sense in the richest/tier1 cities, I don't think the rest could afford good enough public transit though.
