    Seriously. Do people really think EVs will save us from climate change? They are hardly good for the environment. There’s already a sustainable EV, it’s called a train.

    And don’t get me started on electrical scooters… How is that more sustainable than a bike…

      I don’t have anything against trains, but our rail network is really limited.

      If I want to go from Barcelona to Madrid, it’s easy and actually more convenient than flying albeit more expensive.

      But if I want to take my kids to go and see the cool medieval castle in the mountains? There’s no train going anywhere near there.
