If by "clean mobility" he means "more cars", then I'd ask: why?
These analyses are based on replacing all current ICE cars 1:1 with equivalent BEV. Why? Smaller personal vehicles, (electric) bicycles, public transport, better train infrastructure, car sharing are all alternatives to having the same number of cars on the roads.

hahahaha. "technology-neutral regulations"? As long as different technologies have different effects on the world, there is no such thing as "technology-neutral" regulation. You cannot say all cars are equal if your objective is to have clean air and less CO2 emissions.

I 100% agree with that but I see absolutely no push in that direction, if anything EVs are following the trend and are larger/heavier The long term ecological goals are diametrically opposed to consumerism which is the driving force of the global economy for a long while now. We need people to buy shit, selling a bicycle instead of a 70k$ EV is bad in that regard
