Canadian-made ‘Project Arrow’ EV debuts at CES 2023
Canada's first zero-emission EV, Project Arrow, is having its debut on the CES 2023 showroom floor ahead after three years of development.Steve Vegvari (MobileSyrup)
While it's true that #EVs have dramatically lower emissions when compared to combustion engines, that is only part of the problem.
EVs do not solve congestion, or road mortality (they might be worse as they tend to be heavier).
The production of batteries is very unsustainable and the need for charging infrastructure creates a new set of issues that need to be addressed in our public space. Essentially they need MORE of our cities.
EVs are here to save the automobile industry, not the planet.
