The measure to make vehicles weighing 1.6 tons and over pay 3x the parking rates for the first two hours has passed in Paris.
Now, let’s get that in place for London and many other other places to help slow, and even reverse, this trend towards massive personal vehicles.
One electric car is better than one gasoline car, because electric cars don’t fart toxic gases into the air where everyone’s trying to breathe.
I’d take 10 electric cars over 7 gasoline fart cans any day of the week.
But we’re talking a very large city where the goal isn’t to make driving a car more expensive “just because” its to reduce the number of cars in town.
Nah, the fart particles are still there though and those get worse with weight
As a person who rides bikes a lot, I strongly prefer sitting at a stoplight behind an electric vehicle over a gasoline vehicle. Tailpipe emissions matter a great deal even though EVs don’t completely solve the problem of cars creating air pollution.
Of course, I still prefer no cars over electric cars.
I mean, much the same, but I’m kind of split whether they’re meaningfully better. Unless it’s smog smog I have some ways to avoid car exhaust, like not standing directly beside it, where I live even the law allows for that. I don’t put down enough watts to transport myself to a stable orbit.
But, just to be clear, this is me arguing against all cars, not pro gasoline cars over electric cars
I’m just mad that my city built a new protected bike lane along a busy road, but the air smells so bad because of car exhaust lol
oh, quite understandable. I do appreciate EVs when I’M stuck behind one at a traffic light for not gassing me.
