Damning new report finds nearly all major car companies are actively sabotaging world's efforts to avoid catastrophic global warming, and Japan companies are the worst.
Conversion kits are a great idea and sound both more affordable & sustainable. I’d also bet they can be adopted more quickly too. However, I also see value in new vehicles that are designed to be electric from the get-go; I just think the auto industry will put up less resistance if there are incentives given to upgrade their facilities.
I definitely agree on the standardized battery formats, charging stations, etc. IMO, we should be standardizing as much as possible. The easier something is to swap out, the faster it can be adopted. Battery recycling is also a huge one, too.
I’d also like to see the fed adjust their vehicle standards to disincentivize the massive trucks and crossovers we see everywhere now.
@Coffee_Addict yeah simply removing the CAFE non-commercial truck loophole would do wonders, especially if you throw in a 2-3 year headwind to good faith allow transitioning their delivery pipelines.
@Neblib@mastodo.neoliber.al Porque no los dos?
