    Electric cars are cool and all but you can’t have walkable cities and simultaneously store one vehicle per person on their streets

      As with a lot of my responses here, you’re only responding within the context of cities, and even more narrowly you’re referring to downtown/commercial/recreational areas that need to be walkable.

      You’re right to say we should have more walkable cities, however it’s not a valid argument against electrifying vehicles.

        1. 70% of eu residents live in ”urban clusters”. So I am ”only responding” for 70% of people, a number that will probably rise over time too.

        2. Not only downtown/commercial/recreational areas need to be walkable. Walkability is good in all areas if possible. It makes everything simpler for everybody.

        3. I am not arguing against the elcrification of cars, I am arguing for decreasing the number of cars over time simultaneously with elecrification.
