    Not for every case but the NOW problem is getting EVs accepted. Eventually with public support and pressure a long term solution could be implemented, like streetside chargers.

      The NOW problem is to invest in public transit.

      EVs aren’t going to help much. It’s still just a big pile of plastics and petroleum based lube and a whole lot of precious metals being mined by companies that produce a lot of pollution in countries with shady human rights.
