Alternatives to Electric Cars

I think we should consider more than just electric cars as a solution to this problem. We need to rethink the way we travel in many car dependent countries.Cars are the most in-efficient means of personal transportation. People should have multiple options for different needs.For shorter trips: Buses, Trains, light rail, Trams(StreetCars), bikes, walking, and finally electric cars.For long distance travel: slower overnight trains, intercity busses, high-speed rail, planes, and finally e

If they real purpose of both manufactures and consumers of EVs was to combate climate change, then a much easier, cheaper, and better solution would be for everyone to discourage driving and promote public transportation and telecommuting. That would not only reduce emissions much more effectively, but the money saved in maintaining expensive and unnecessary infrastructure like thousands of miles of highways and bridges could be invested in maintaining and expanding public transportation and in

You don't need to raise cities. Public transportation is more environmentally friendly than everyone driving alone in $80k EVs.

maybe less EV's, and more improved public transportation?

this is good, the solution to cars is not EVs. it's investment in public transit and making people buy less cars overall.

Should refer to all cars, since they all pollute, electric just pollutes relatively less. Still need all the cement infrastructure and everything else. Ride a bike. Use public transport.

Cars are not sustainable in general.

Less car dependency will make lives better, not worse.

True but the usage of cars themselves is the main problem. Electrification of cars helps, certainly, but we should be walking and biking, not driving. They’re more efficient, but we are still just using expensive energy to power them when we could just build better and not need them. Calories are cheaper than watts.

In this case maybe they should think about something more sustainable than private cars.
