    I’d argue trains are the solution for most city applications.

    Rural areas can keep ICE’s if cities of tens of millions dispense themselves of cars.

      So you want to keep drilling for oil forever? Oil wells, pipe lines, refineries, more pipes, trucks carrying liquid fuel… when you could just get rid of all that and have renewable powered cars?

      There’s a brief window where if you look at it from a very careful angle ICE is briefly better in some ways than electric, long term electric is the only option.
