Electric cars are crucial, but not enough to solve climate change. We can’t let them crowd out car-free transit options.

TL;DR: Norway subsidised electric cars a lot, that money went to the rich more than the poor, and left them with less money to spend on transit which delivers better outcomes for cities.

    so it’s not the “electric” part that’s the problem in norway

    it’s still better than combustion engines

      It’s not the cars being electric that’s the problem, but their approach to electric cars and seeing them as a solution is.

        yeah, I get that.

        I have no problem with the article itself - the headline is still stupid though.
