    EVs plus charging with a grid powered by solar when the sun shines bright at midday is one of the most powerful forces in averting anthropogenic climate change.

      I would say removing the need for personal vehicles were possible would be a much more powerful force, but yours is much more practical at least short term (decade's time frame).

        Yeah I’d prefer teleportation, time travel and world peace too.

            I grew up in Europe. And lived car free 5 years in London and biked 6 months in Netherlands. I have 70 countries stamped on my passport.

            There's plenty of cars in Europe and in some sense traffic is worse there than here in NZ.

            Let's not pretend they gone extinct there and everything is fine and dandy just because you walked everywhere for a week while visiting some old town.
