@paultk #ElectricCars won't save the plante, but #PublicTransport and #WalkableNeighbourhoods will...

Otherwise you just externalize and the change the emissions...

@paultk well, that's bad solutionism:

Because this individualizes a systemic issue that shouldn't be individualized.

@notjustbikes made a substantial playlist about the core issues:

@kkarhan

You're not wrong. @notjustbikes isn't wrong either. But it's going to take a damn long time to fix in NA. As he himself has stated.

You're also missing the forest for the trees. Trucking and commercial transportation account for a significant portion of green house gases. The push for EVs will transform these sectors as well.

And I agree, it is systematic. So it's nice to see governments doing something about it. Attacking EVs is just nonsensical. They can be part of the solution.

@paultk @notjustbikes Yes and no - OFC EVs work great for shunting and last mile delivery since that's where it can play it's key strenghts: excellent stop & go efficiencies.

There's a reason why #DHL bought #CityScooter and why #Amazon funded #Rivmvian to make them an electric #Boxtruck...
