    While EVs are fantastic, and a needed step in the right direction. Having a good public transit system, and walkable/bikable cities and towns will do far more to help the environment.

    I definitely am, but battery longevity and recyclability problems are still largely unsolved.

    I’m willing to compromise with a plug-in hybrid so that all the short trips can be fully electric but I can still have long drives with gas.
