    There are many studies that show that replacing all gas cars with electric cars won’t come close to reduction of carbon emissions needed on transportaion fields.

    Morever they have all the problems that cars have:

    • weight inefficent: 1 or 2 tons to move 1 80 kg person
    • space inefficent: to move one person you need one parking spot at home, one at the job, one at the grocery store…
    • dangerous: car crashes are the main cause of death among younger ages. Electric cars are heavier, so they are more dangerous.
    • huge infrastructure needed: to move cars you need highways, which are many times less efficient from a area point if view that any other mide of transportation.
    • expensive infrastructure to build and mantain. Riad manteunance drll the worst kind of holes in public funding. Electric cars weight more, making this issue worse
    • Car oriented development is ugly and inefficent. You can’t have both a nice neighborhood and enough car parking space,
    • Cars are terribly expensive to buy and mantain

    Forse sure I’m forgetting quite a lot of things
