Electric vehicles are not the solution - ending car dependency is. The roads are becoming less safe for road users other than those driving out-size cars.
When you see a size small person wearing size 2XL clothes you might wonder why. When you see a wee boy tripping over due to wearing shoes four sizes too big, you might feel sympathy. When you see a man laying in the beach dressed like a funeral director, you might think 'how odd'.
When you see a single person in a business suit driving a huge upmarket off-road vehicle, you see nothing incongruent. These vehicle are not just harmful to those people they hit, they actively discourage people who would choose to be active, to buy huge vehicles too, so that they too can feel safe.
I say downsize the cars, reduce their weight. Without a real sense of danger when driving on the road, then inconsiderate driving results.
Remove the driver's airbags, and replace them with spikes instead - Darwin in action.
