bump the taxes on petrol to subsidize electromobility which actually necessitates smaller vehicles, problem solved
Does it? People tend to buy ones with large batteries because they “might need the range”. When I first saw a Tesla (Y, I think), I was shocked at everything being 25% larger than a normal European car.
I don’t know about where you live, but I often make 150+ mile trips from where I live. Just to and from work is 190, and there’s nowhere to charge at work. I usually work from home, so that’s not a problem, but I just can’t afford to live anywhere closer.
If I could find one, I’d love to get an old Honda Insighf. Mfers get like 70+ miles to the gallon. With a 10 gallon tank, that could bring you 700 miles! More if you do some mods to it to improve MPG further.
by subsidies I also mean R&D to improve range. Photovoltaics is getting better and better and I imagine being able to get a pretty nice range in sunnier countries, like in these races through the Australian interior where some concept cars were able to drive the entire distance without charging at like 90 km/h average, forgot the name
