Congestion pricing does not interfere with drivers going places other than the city center. They can also still drive to the city center if they value it enough. Deterring people from owning cars altogether, or restricting the spaces and routes drivers can use (in the way cyclists and pedestrians are currently restricted, in this "free" country) would be far more aggressive moves.
- tekknik 3y agoThat’s the next step isn’t it? With EVs being near useless outside of city centers and city centers are beginning to charge congestion fees then it’s quite obvious what’s coming next.
- closeparen 3y agoEVs are near useless in city centers because hardly anybody can install home charging, plus many households have only 1 car so they hamstring themselves for road trips. If you can install a charger on your property and also have ICE vehicles in your household, EVs are great. Not too many suburbanites / exurbanites doing >250 miles in day.
- tekknik 3y agoyou pretty well ignored the question and answered one nobody asked.
- closeparen 3y agoThe “what’s coming next” part depends on the premise “EVs being near useless outside of city centers” being true. It’s not.
