I'm confessedly cynical about this kind of project, but hopefully I'll be proven wrong. it's cool to see them making progress. #EVs

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.
