    We’ve still got to contend with the horrible environmental effects of tire dust - EV or ICE.

      And the urban sprawl from car dependancy, the salting of the roads, stormwater run off from roads, the wasted urban space that is massive surface parking lots, and noise pollution from the tires. EVs solve very few problems related to cars.

        That’s really the biggest issue that’s unfortunately not at the forefront. Sure, EVs are much more energy efficient and therefore less polluting in the form of fossil fuel burn, but the way we travel is incredibly inefficient given the available technologies. Our country was literally built on the railroad, yet there is very little reasonable passenger rail alternatives in much of the country.

        Building communities that are walkable? I mean, we could try that, but it wouldn’t make rich people richer.
