Personal electric cars is a horrible solution for transportation. We have had electric trains, trolleys, underground for decades. It does not look like Californians are actually going to build anything new like that. India and China most likely will improve their transportation system significantly.
- nine_k 3y agoI live in NYC, don't own a car, and agree. But cars are still needed in many areas, and even in dense cities with excellent public transport. In this role, electric cars are strictly better than gasoline cars, because they can be powered by solar or hydro or wind or nuclear energy right now. Also, I know a number of people who despise dense cities and want suburbia or countryside. Again, if they could fuel their cars from solar panels on their roofs (or shopping center roofs, parking lot roofs, etc), it would be strictly better than burning more oil.
