My frustration comes from the fact that hybrids exist and are not used nearly as enough as they should (all cars should have been mandated as hybrids a decade ago) and this would reduce the downsides of electric car production.

I’m not defending ICEs here, I just think the overall environmental credentials of electric cars at this point in time isn’t as good as hybrids.

I fully expect this to change in the future but I’ve got entire fleets of vehicles which are less than 5 years old being replaced by electric and that makes no sense.

Also cars generally are just a terrible solution to mass transport. We already have the most environmentally friendly option known to man. Bicycles and trains.

Edit: for further information on hybrid vs electric see this analysis:

Custoslibera,

I’d argue trains are the solution for most city applications.

Rural areas can keep ICE’s if cities of tens of millions dispense themselves of cars.

Custoslibera,

I have no interest in lobbying the US government on this.

Custoslibera,

If you can, use public transport and ride a bike.

If you can’t, using the same private vehicle for a long time, while not ideal, is acceptable.

Buying a brand new electric car to replace a relatively new ICE is not a great solution.

Custoslibera,

Hmmm what future do I want?

Custoslibera,

I have no interest in lobbying the US government because I’m not American.

Custoslibera,

Yeah. America isn’t the world.

Plenty of countries have functioning public transport.

America is not the exception, you can survive without cars.

Custoslibera,

Sounds like a lot of assumptions on your part about what I think.

Custoslibera,

I stand by what I said.

We should have less private transport regardless of if it’s electric or ICE.

Arguably action on climate change warrants a significant reduction in car use generally to stop our extinction.

Custoslibera,

I disagree strongly about the US not being suitable for public transport.

There are large cities that could introduce effective metro services and that would be a vast improvement.

Rural areas can remain ICE/BEV.

Custoslibera,

The fact that the implementation of public transport is poor is not a criticism of public transport.

Custoslibera,

Blasphemy.

Custoslibera,

I assume it’s because positions of trust in society attract those who want to abuse that trust.

Never trust a cop though.

Custoslibera,

This better not awaken anything in me…

Custoslibera,

Warmth is only temporary.

Cold wetness lasts a long time.

Custoslibera,

Kegels is the solution that’s worked for me.

Custoslibera,

If it’s too spicy for the group chat it’s too spicy for Lemmy.

Custoslibera,

Of course I know that account, it’s me.

Custoslibera,

Finally some good fucking content - I say, while rereading my comments.

Custoslibera,

Nah because uncle Frank turns up and starts dropping some spicy political opinions while pouring everyone shots.

Custoslibera,

This is the right level of spice in a meme.
