I think the electrification thing is completely awesome but I think individual car ownership will and should end. I believe car companies are similar to fossil fuels in this way, they marketed the importance of a bad idea to the masses. They made cars sexy and oversold their utility as a way of improving life and maybe they do improve life, but it comes at an environmentally degrading cost. Noise pollution alone is bad enough…
Personally I think the tyre dust thing will be another global ecological crisis. I am not saying the tyre dust issue “is” caused by electrics, it’s not, but tyre dust is a huge and hard to solve problem and tyres are toxic things.
Plastics just fall off cars too, roads themselves are ecologically bad. If you ride along the side of a highway on a bike you will see amazing amount of plastic rubbish. Even the highways are lined with plastic materials and object that disintegrate. Fencing, astroturf etc All of which ends up disintegrating and everywhere.
Each day that passes I’m happier I’ve always been and always will be an avid walker and cyclist. Yes I own a car but I use it very sparingly and thoughtfully.
