We don’t just need electric cars, we need fewer cars - Greenpeace International

Ever since the first production car rolled off the assembly line more than 100 years ago, our love affair with automobiles has grown and grown.

Interesting article from 2018. But nothing has changed at all. Even the electric cars I see on the road are huge.

    At this point i don’t even demand fewer cars, i just want smaller cars.

    90% of people do not need a 4-seat gas-guzzler with a massive trunk which literally outsizes a WW1 tank and a top speed of “yes”, they can get by perfectly fucking fine with a little electric moped-car where the rear seats are foldable and the trunk fits maybe 3 grocery bags.

      Yeah. If I can carry 12-14kg from Costco on my bicycle pannier bags, a small car can handle most shopping trips for most people, most of the time. =p
