For anyone who thinks BEVs are some panacea tech, I've got a battery electric bridge to sell you.
The real solution is less driving. Invest in mass transit, separated bicycle lanes, and mixed zoning near transit hubs. Encourage heat pumps instead of separate furnaces and AC units. Encourage local hydrogen production as battery storage for manufacturing sites with excess solar and wind. And so on.
BEVs just perpetuate the same problem that got us here and make people feel good for doing very little. They should exist, but they aren't the solution to our problems.
