While we’ve been transitioning to electric cars, progress also needed to happen on every other issue but it doesn’t happen because we’re all in on electric cars instead of doing something about car dependency as a whole. It’s not moving forward, it’s moving sideways.
Speaking from the US, we’re clearly not yet all in on EVs and we just killed funding for transit and intercity rail. And they’re trying to remove fuel efficiency standards altogether. We are 30 years ago and regressing fast.
Transit and intercity rail are receding into some future utopian fever dream but some of us can still choose EVs
