I didn't want to spend a lot of time explaining this to you, but it seems I have to.
1. There is no way on earth that any city in the world has enough clean energy to fuel electric cars for every person.
2. Electric cars, just like every other car uses metals, rare earths, and plastics in their production. This materials are either derived in a toxic manner which is adding to pollution and climate change (plastics) or are diminishing our source of metal. It's a complete waste of our resources to use metals to manufacture cars when we could have massive public transport.
3. The ever widening and increasing number of roads is killing off our natural world. In Los Angeles, there are more roads than homes. The tar prevents the water from going through, and this makes flooding more probable. Also, tar is not exactly good for our environment.
4. The amount of space that is used in parking cars in garages, on streets, etc. is quite unnecessary. We could use less space and intrude less on our natural world if we just used public transport.
No problems are solved through using the electric cars. I first heard that in 2004 at UCSD.
