The electrification of private vehicles is not a workable or equitable solution.
The transportation sector globally needs to significantly change in the next decades. The electrification of private vehicles is not a workable or equitable solution. The environmental degradation, disruption, and violence carried out towards marginalised communities, coupled with insufficient reserves of rare minerals make this clear. Revolutionising public transport systems is key to decarbonise countries, and the wider global scale. Fortunately, a better path forward is clear: limit resource consumption with a shift to a circular economy and provide a high-quality, low-cost, electrified bus and rail network to the benefit of both citizens and our planet.
