Annoying side effect of climate change is a growing sense that electrification of transport solves the problems with cars rather than leaving all the other problems with cars unchanged

Yes, you still see carbon arguments, but the maths don’t work anymore. A rail project opening in say 10 years will not save much operational carbon and probably emit quite a lot of construction carbon.
In some ways electric cars actually add to the current problems. More consumerism as people 'upgrade' to keep up with the Joneses. More infrastructure being built to service and charge them... we need mass transit, not new private transport.
„Cars ruin cities“ people are almost blind to the shitty view of cars everywhere, infrastructure designed around driving and parking, safety risk to anyone not in the biggest car. Alex is right - EVs not do nothing to address this.
