Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

In terms of carbon emissions, not even close. In terms of environmental impact, not really. In terms of societal impact, a car is a car, the fewer the better.
it halves it but its still not nearly enough for a green transition. things like ebikes, trams, trains, e-buses, etc. are much more important to focus on over cars
For sure buses, bicycles, and trains would be miles and miles better for the environment and for society, but halving emissions is not "almost as bad."
The best car is still no car.
Electric cars and regional trains having around the same impact
Well, guess it's time for the Green liberals to gut regional train infrastructure in favor of more car-centric cities over here
I think the issue is these are categories as measured. Regional train infrastructure is ass and doesnt have many passengers if it were modernized it may be fine
Oh fuck my e-scooter is worse than an EV car???
Its e scooters used by those ride sharing apps afaik, those have gigantic turnover. Normal e scooters are right above ebikes
