Electric cars are cool and all but you can't have walkable cities and simultaneously store one vehicle per person on their streets
As with a lot of my responses here, you're only responding within the context of cities, and even more narrowly you're referring to downtown/commercial/recreational areas that need to be walkable.
You're right to say we should have more walkable cities, however it's not a valid argument against electrifying vehicles.
70% of eu residents live in ”urban clusters”. So I am ”only responding” for 70% of people, a number that will probably rise over time too.
Not only downtown/commercial/recreational areas need to be walkable. Walkability is good in all areas if possible. It makes everything simpler for everybody.
I am not arguing against the elcrification of cars, I am arguing for decreasing the number of cars over time simultaneously with elecrification.
Cool, so we're all on the same page
The statement in the meme is "I'm glad electric cars are becoming more popular".
That's not an endorsement of car culture. I think it's obvious to everyone here that fewer cars would be good. That's not in conflict with the central statement.
