We need to roll out good public transit and get more people off the roads in general, too.
EVs are a good step in energy independence, but they're only mildly better ecologically than ICE vehicles (which should definitely be phased out). The whole ecological cost of maintaining road infrastructure is also not getting helped by heavier vehicles, so we need less of them on the road.
Agreed. I think better battery tech will allow for lighter EVs, but even so at the very least we need vehicle manufacturers to expand their EV range beyond massive SUVs and Sedans, to include more reasonably sized hatch backs etc.
You're right; however. Public transport is shocking where I live, and is in dire need of improvement.
