    Drastically less pollution, but a car is still a car. The tires still shed microplastics (more, actually), the electricity used to charge the batteries come from somewhere, and there’s a carbon footprint involved in building a new cars to replace ones that crash or age out.

    Not an argument for keeping ICE vehicles, but holy hell do we need trains and buses.

      No argument there. I try to use renewable energy when I can. At least when I charge at home, I know it’s renewable.
