The Purpose of Electric Transportation

This is intriguing.  Some things to consider:

There is no doubt that the environmental footprint associated with electric transportation represents a huge improvement over the combustion of fossil fuels, and that delta is widening steadily as zero-carbon sources of energy continue to expand their presence.

Phasing out fossil fuels at the maximum feasible rate goes beyond ecological issues; for example, natural gas is what’s financing Russia’s ongoing spree of war crimes in Ukraine.

That said, our civilization needs to transcend the paradigm that a 2-ton vehicle is used to cart around a 175-pound human body.

Whether we like it or not, the purpose of industries is profit, not saving the planet.  To the extent that they can achieve the latter along with the former is what makes them a boon to human society.
