And have you seen how big the other cars are now?
This is great progress in the sense that the semi sized trucks are somehow not eating all of these gains.
(And the next step is to get EVs up into those semi sized trucks and tax the carbon versions to compensate for their environmental damage)
- stjohnswarts 4y agothis will never happen in the USA. they will strike if you try to make them soak up those costs; telling the average american literally everything is on hold because big rigs are all protesting and the voters will come looking for you at your home (if you're a politician). Any such measure is only doable in a country like China where the government has absolute power and even there when pushed too far regular people will starting burning shit to the ground.
- alamortsubite 4y ago> the next step is to get EVs up into those semi sized trucks and tax the carbon versions to compensate for their environmental damage Sounds good, but much better would be to get people out of their cars, ICE or otherwise.
- kyrra 4y agoIn the US, that would require an entire upending of how our country built housing and commercial space. That won't happen without a major shift. People will not want to give up their freedom of mobility.
- alamortsubite 4y agoThat much is obvious. Sadly, what's less obvious to many is that we're in for a major shift, one way or another.
- outside1234 4y agoTotally agree with you on that.
