  1. Not to mention there aren't enough known sources of the raw materials for a 1:1 replacement of petrol cars, besides which the effect on local populations is absolutely devastating. Besides which, if EVs emit 70% less CO2 than ICEVs, that means their carbon footprint is still a third of the size, i.e. nowhere near good enough. Sure, EVs are better than ICEVs, but we really need to be moving away from the concept of externally-powered personal transportation.

  2. Yeah, honestly you don't even need the battery assist for most purposes. Just go with a well-geared bicycle structure, and if these manufactures ever get around to figuring out how to build them to a decent durability it'll last forever. I just wish we could lower the speed limits to the point they could be a major part of the traffic outside of cities as well as in.
