Imagine yourself on your dream vacation. Perhaps it's a relaxing all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean or an excursion to a remote campsite. Or maybe it's an urban adventure to Paris or Barcelona. People have very different tastes in the places they like to go to relax and unwind. But many of the most popular vacation destinations have something important in common: When you get there, you don’t have to do much driving.

Good article about why plain switching to EVs isn’t the solution.

    am i the only one who thinks getting rid of ice is irrelevant for the climate? its more practical and modern but thats about it? lithium extraction is still brutal for the people & climate.

    make good subways for my commute and give me bullet trains like china and japan that are actually cheap and comfy for longer distances. leave cars and bikes for shorter leisure trips.

    and then actually make durable repairable reusable goods instead of mass producing garbage.

      An EV has about 50% lifetime CO2 emissions as an ICE.

      So it’s beneficial to switch for the few usecases that still need personal vehicles.

      For the rest, we really should be using Ebikes, Trains, Metros, Trams etc.
