Yeah, EVs literally change nothing about our infrastructure and reliance on passenger automobiles, which is where most of our urban problems lie, making it dangerous and unhealthy for anybody else to just live, all while blocking traffic for logistics, deliveries, and emergency response.

The only thing EVs are good for is taking away just one harmful aspect of the great problems which cars produce, the smog. That is a far cry from addressing the problem. It's only a distraction.
