You really think that the difference between EV and gazoline is big enough that you could upgrade from an apartment to a house?

And let's not forget that a whole society living in single housing is a lot less eco-friendly than someone living in an apartment in a dense city and being able to do a lot of errands walking. Transportation emissions is not the only eco-impact, there's a lot that goes into housing and non efficient use of land.

Thank you! I don't want to live in a single housing period. Atm EV isn't an option for people living in the flats without access to the public infrastructure. If I bought a house I would have to commute 5x longer distance every day.
the cars s/he mentioned are estimated at 100k euros, and in poland thats a lot. dont be fooled by european hybrids - they pollute more because the electric engine runs for short distances, and when it doesnt carrying it actually takes more fuel. i am all for evs and proper hybrids but this is not the case.
The Porsche Taycan and all Teslas are full EVs - which is what that were considering purchasing.
