The point sailed right over you. I'm saying we could invest in better infrastructure and mass transit alternatives rather than individual cars. The whole car manufacturing process is literally killing us. I love cars too, but they make little sense moving forward. Will be a looooong time before they go away, and as I specifically stated, EV's make a good alternative to ICE vehicles (as your article references), but they're meant to preserve car manufacturing, not our natural resources.
Here's an article I cherry picked too:
