If we're going to ban fossil fuels 100%, we need EVs to work for everyone. If we don't ban fossil fuels altogether, people can continue driving old cars which is bad. I know I will.

    If we're going to ban fossil fuels 100%, we need EVs to work for everyone.

    Why? We've made THOUSANDS of changes to society over the last century that did not work for everyone, but where a lot of them benefitted the (vast) majority. We should continue having that as the aim. The idea that a solution (for ANY problem) exists that works for literally 100% of the population is silly.

    It doesn't have to be a binary choice. We could have regulations that require EV charging stations on new construction, from street lamp poles, etc, and still let people fill up their gas car.

    The government should probably do something to combat the proliferation of huge pickup trucks, but idk what that would look like.
