Electric cars are here to save the car industry. They still do significant damage to humans. Car tires are the number 1 cause of microplastics in the ocean.

100% agreed, to reduce the environmental impact of the transport sector, the top priorities need to be investing in public transport and moving cargo by rail rather than by road.
