      Well there’s less also less pressure on the oil reserves when there’s fewer cars using them

      Let’s not forget that Cubans would generally drive 1950s American cars from before the blockade, as well as soviet cars from… Doesn’t matter when, they were never particularly efficient either lmao

      An EV might use 5x less fuel than a 1950’s Chevy even if charged wholly by an oil-based power plant. They’re also building up solar capacity.

        Guess you have never been to Cuba? Those old American cars have all been converted to small diesel engines, and there are not many of them, they are more just a tourist attraction now. Most of the cars are modern a class cars.
