| Related: https://www.thefp.com/p/your-iphone-was-built-with-child Does anyone have numbers of resource usage of an EV compared to, say, an iPhone? Or, for better perspective, compared to an electric bus divided by its average number of passengers per day? I know, there won't be a single definitive answer to the latter question. But I think the problem with vehicles is mostly their numbers and artifical abundance. I'm all for EVs, but against any state subsidies to purchase one. After all, the list price doesn't even include any "externalities". Taxing the s.. out of individual vehicles (in other words, cash the externalities) and going strong on public transport, that would be "Better for the Environment" The current dichotomy is a self-imposed dilemma with no right answer |
