Electric cars are to save automobile industry profits. Not the planet.
If you want to save the planet, then ride a bicycle.
Hard to carry a TV on a bicycle, or transport loads to the recycling centre, or drop my kids off at school or any one of a thousand things that occur day to day.
Our world redesigned itself with the invention of cars. Trying to exist without them is very hard for your average family, especially those who live outside cities.
how often do you seriously carry a tv? and believe it or not, most kids can ride a bike, or even walk!
Great, well I have a six year old that needs to get to his school which is about a mile and a half away and I need to get to work 20 mins after which is about three miles in the other direction.
I then also need to do his pickup during my lunch break.
Most people's lives don't work without a car because that's not the society that car ownership created.
