Well put. Let's hope governments are willing and able to invest in the public transport required. However as a person of age, I find public transport good to a point. I start work at 4 am when there is no public transport what so ever. Also it's not great for things like shopping and moving my family around. I'd love to be environmentally sound, but the way life in general is set up it needs more evolutionary time or huge investment. Which I'm not sure government or people in general can provide quickly.

I'm not sure you understand the question. Never mind tho. Let's just make everyone but EV's and forget about it.

Lucky you. Unfortunately I live in a high rise 30km from work. As do thousands more. Believe me I'd love EV to be practical for all vehicle users. I just don't believe we are ready yet to enforce a doctrine for everyone. I know they say for new cars but they just make it impossible to get older cars through emissions checks etc. Anyone on a low income may never be able to afford an EV. What do they do. Get priced out of travel. Plus few places have cheap public transport.

You don't have to fill up a gas car overnight to make it worth having.

How naive. Just answer the one about people in high rise buildings.

Simply common sense.

Insane. Where is the infrastructure. How is the electricity generated. How do people I high-rise buildings charge at home. Are they truly good for the environment. How does the less well off afford to buy them.

I couldn't agree more.
