No!!! Keep your cars out of my city! Personal EVs are not a solution for cities, they just perpetuate detrimental car centric urban policies. Spend that money on continuous sidewalks, narrower streets and better public transit.
- pwinnski 4y agoI'm with you in spirit, but I think this verges on letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Ideally we'd have really narrow streets, so much less parking, and many more amenities for pedestrians. Realistically, replacing a good chunk of the existing gas-fueled cars with electric cars would be a HUGE net win.
- Gibbon1 4y agoWhen I lived an worked in SF I put something like 6000 miles a year on my car. Probably half of that was in the city. At 6000 miles a year you'd only need to charge your car every two weeks. One problem is the craven MBA's that run auto companies think there is big bucks to be made overcharging people for keyless entry fobs. Which blocks things like being able to hire a service to do things like charge your car for you.

- thethethethe 4y agoHmm do you think that people who live in a city and pay taxes to maintain its infrastructure don’t deserve to have opinions on how said city spends tax dollars on transportation infrastructure. Seems a little entitled to me
