Dependable and available public transit is the answer to our transportation needs with electric vehicles substituted in areas where public transit presents implementation challenges.
Electric cars cannot be the backbone of our system if we look to reduce emissions and environmental hazards to a level that allows us to continue existence as we know it.
I dunno some intercity buses and trains would be nice... Like unless you can fly or rent a car I don't know how you get to most of the country without your own car.
You mean like where 80% of our population is?
Hahahaha public transit.
Have you looked at the energy/environmental costs of trains or busses?
Hint: they both consume the same energy fully loaded or empty, as a start.
And train infrastructure is a massive user of concrete, steel, copper, etc.
Per capita it's insanely lower than the personal cost alternative.
Why would you measure per capita? Not everyone will use it. How about per passenger?
