because living in the suburbs is miserable even with electric cars?
I certainly think so, but somehow those houses keep getting bought
we need government intervention and central planning for any of this anyway
True, I don't blame people for buying EV cars. Either you save some money - which is good - or you pay more for the common good of reducing CO2 - also good!
EDIT: Just to be sure; doing the better thing but paying for it is bad, but like good on an individual levle
But like sticking to the US theme, the republicans aren't going to do it and the last democratic president hooned an 8 ton E-Hummer around and then called it the future of transportation (when he wasn't busy suggesting everybody not in a car would be required to carry a transponder so self driving cars could happen). So who enacts the change here? The suburbians sure won't, everything is the same except their car goes MMMMMM instead of vroom now.
well, yes, again, but then also again: how do EVs change the equation here?
there's no in the meantime. All the needed changes I assume we agree on could be done in the now, but they won't be, and they also won't be once you exchange every ICE car for an EV because why would you? The system can keep on trucking fine with EVs instead of ICE cars, why change?
