Reminder: electric cars are just as terrible for walkability and good urbanism as fossil fuel ones. Keep your eyes on the ball, folks!
The best EV is a ebike! Even better is just be able to walk where you want to go.
And the best ebike is just a regular bike 😛
I kind of disagree on 'just as terrible' noise/space sure, but not being able to smell the petrol is such a biggie for me.
the fact that they don't sit there going BRUBRUBRUBRUBRUB idling honestly does a lot for comfort in already walkable places where cars end up standing still or going slow a lot
