They should ban ice personal cars, ensure that a compact cheap EV is affordable to the poorest through subsidies.

Otherwise you'll have anti-EV chuds riding around in their polluting oversized trucks, those should be melted down, complete waste.

The most environmentally friendly car is the one you already own.

By all means, ban new ICE vehicles. But you're not doing anyone any favors by ratcheting up how many new vehicles we produce

I think there are reasons to ban oversized trucks besides emissions. Pedestrian safety, traffic congestion and all.

But i agree with smaller cars.

So much of the "bigger car" argument is just "there are too many big cars so I need one too".

so many crossover SUVs are just lifted hatchbacks with some extra body cladding to make it look bigger on the outside.

they aren't even bigger on the inside!! wtf???
