Repurposing existing cars would make sense if there was no alternative. Obviously in reality certain areas can’t go without cars, and heavy machinery like forklifts can’t really be replaced.
Yeah it’s kinda ironic I think the combis and small transports that so many people rely on in car centric latinoamerica are a category that would benefit especially well from electrification & replacement with rail, both would improve many peoples’ quality of life but fossil fuel companies benefit from nobody moving away from them outside of the first world.
Basically any cars that still run should be packed to the brim like the combis of many latin american nations
