Why not do both? We are always going to have cars: whether gas or electric.

- kdmccormick 3y agoBecause (even if we put aside concerns like charging spots, batteries, and increased road damage due to EV weight) there is a finite level of funding available on all levels of government. If private companies want to fund a conversion to EVs, great. But that's not exactly what's happening. There are huge federal and state subsidies happening to incentivize the transition, and those subsidies could instead be used to repair and public transit systems, which at least in my city are literally crumbing, and improve safety for cyclists and pedestrias.
