    Yeah I just don't see it. If we want to reduce oil/gas use then the goal would be eliminating private car use altogether and providing alternatives. EVs are still a huge machine designed to transport a single person. They're still a waste, not to mention how much the global south is getting exploited for their lithium.

    Cars just aren't going to save anything. Here, I'll compromise. Electric bicycles.

      For city use I agree with you but if you live in a small town you need a car. You are too far from almost everything you need. And you don't have public transport.

        Yeah I believe even that should change. Everything should change to incorporate fewer or no cars, including small towns.

          If you live in a little town in the middle of nowhere you won't have public transport. It's too expensive. Private transport it's the only way to go anywhere from there. It's a shame but...

            Yeah I know that. It's a shame which is why we have to change it. We're out here building a better future.
