Can you imagine not having the constant traffic noise played into your ears like tinnitus, being able to maybe actually breathe the oxygen nature provides. That’s probably gonna be what it will be like. But still, ev are just a stop gap, more privately owned cars isn’t the solution in my humble opinion, it is a start towards it.

About noise, above 30km/h electric cars are as noisy as gas powered one.

It's better but not the panacea either.

Solution: 30km/h speed limit in cities, which is a good idea anyway for safety reasons.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago

Yes, it's better for safety and health reason.

Plus 30km/h is in the speed range of bikes, so it become much more accessible to bike around in the city and more people start to do it.
