No one says you have to stop driving your car while the city is undergoing restructuring. I am saying that allowing politicians to call electric cars a win will only entrench car culture even more. You have a strange “one or the other” mentality about this.
We have had every piece of technology required to solve climate chance and make cities human-centric for decades. More technology won’t change anything. A fundamental restructuring of our economic model would. Electric cars do not help us toward that goal. Electric cars allow politicians to virtue signal about how green they are, while signing free trade deals that undermine the progress being made behind your back.
