Fourth worst in the World!! What happens when you replace all those cars with EVs? You still have the 4th worst traffic in the world. We need solutions that not only electrify, but also reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles! https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/01/11/metro/boston-traffic-ranked-fourth-worst-world-study-says/
Boston traffic: How does it compare?

The average Boston driver spent 134 hours stuck in traffic last year, making the famously gridlocked city the fourth worst in the world in 2022 in terms of bumper-to-bumper delays, according to an annual study from the company INRIX.

@scowens What happens when you have a public transit system that is slow, unreliable, and doesn't go where most people need to travel without ridiculous out-of-the-way transfers. Not to mention either no bike lanes or bike lanes “protected” by paint alone. As you say, EVs not an answer. Meanwhile feds give tax credits for giant EV SUVs but not for e-bikes.
