We should ban petrol except for ambulances and fire engines

[-] Draconic_NEO@mander.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago

We should be banning, or more accurately, phasing out combustion engines for all vehicles including government and emergency vehicles. If anything should be EVs these should be it. Also consider that American fire trucks are massively oversized compared to ones in the rest of the world. They don't need to be that big, and thus more compact European-style ones could easily be replaced with electric equivalents.

Ambulances and fire engines are probably an example of a top choices to convert to ev. They don’t drive far at all and they are parked at a central location most of the time.

Also puts incentives to install solar panels at hospitals and fire stations.
