    I follow the community. I don’t hate cars. I do however hate their current role in society.

    In rural areas cars are 100% a necessity. What are we gonna do? Introduce a vast network of busses absolutely everywhere that transport 1-2 people + busdriver at the time? EVs are probably mostly good enough for most cases in rural areas, but I won’t get into that. Point is, you need a car in rural areas.

    In many cities cars have too big of a role, many places in cities should not allow car travel that is not necessary. Disabilities, packages, plumbers etc should ofc. be able to travel by car. All cars (incl. EVs) create pollution in the city where people live. They make lots of noise, and take lots of space. So they do not make a lot of sense from a city perspective.

    Then we have the middleground, smaller cities, suburbs etc. is more up for discussion in my opinion. Mostly it depends, not either or. Depends on the area, the infrastructure, population etc.
