Is it though?
I'm generally opposed to continuing to invest so much in car centric infrastructure, and that's pretty much my gripe with EVs. They're still cars, they will further entrench our dependence on roads, which encourage sprawl, a sedentary lifestyle, yada yada yada. I could go on and on.
I'm sure they're better than ICEs, at least for the nearby environmental impact they have. But they still require hugely expensive and inefficient transportation infrastructure.
- notreallyserio 5y agoYeah, most arguments against EVs that I've seen have to do with the battery (or range). I'm with you about cars in general. They're never going away, though, so we might as well make the least impactful cars that we can.
- JamisonM 5y agoI think opposing car-centric urban planning is orthogonal to ICE vs EV issue but I understand the perspective. You're not going to tear up every city in North and South America and make them better planned on a timeline that is helpful to automotive emissions so the answer is EVs plus better zoning laws, move both in the right direction at the same time.
