@kkarhan@pandora_parrot OFC we all can agree that even the stinkiest Diesel Bus is better than a CyberTruck loaded at capacity for the envoirment, because even a small bus can easily transport 40 instead of 4 passengers!
- #CyclingInfrastructure and #PublicTransport should be mandated instead of #ParkingLots!
OFC a smol vehicle is always better than a big ome when few people use it and Instead of #SuperUselessVehicles that have terrible MGW/NW [maximum gross weight : net weight) ratios, a #PersonalLightVehivle should be the go-to option [github.com]...
- Personally, I see #cars very utilitarian...
@kkarhan@pandora_parrot the fact that #ChargingInfrastructure is at best as #inconvenient as the unattended LPG refueling station [www.google.com] in my hometown if not worse is the reason why no #CarRental I know has #BEVs unless you explicitly look for those because all you need to refuel a #CombistionEngine powered car is a hand to open the fill port, pump gas and pay the moey owed to the cashier...
- And since #Germans love #cash and hate "#registering" or god forbid downloading "yet another #app" #charging is seen as even more inconvenient than it inherently will be (due to the relatively low energy transfer speed compared to refueling)...
@kkarhan@infosec.space@pandora_parrot After all, #ElectricCars were one of the first built, but they quickly died out once due to the inefficiency and lack of range inherent in lead oxide + sulphuric acid cells...
- Add to the fact that car manufacturers basically gave up on making #affordable cars or god forbid scooters and we see the #Enshittification pushing only luxury vehicles with metric trons of bloat...
Like I know only 1 (!!!) 15kW electric scooter that comes with a #CCS2 charging connector (mandatory in the #EU) and that's the #BMW #CE04 which is solid 5 digits in terms of pricing [www.bmw-motorrad.de] and at that price point I could buy up to 2 #Aixam Minauto [aixam.de] or Opel Rocks [www.opel.de] or almost 3 Cabin Scooters [aj-emobile.de] or 4 (used!) Corsa D 3-door compact hatchbacks with the 3 cylinder 1l GM ECOTEC engine...
@kkarhan@pandora_parrot but hey, at least the #PublicTransport company in my town increases their #attractivity with an on-demand minibus service surplanting their existing dense network...

- And they even made it accessible for people without an #App or #Subscription so that eldery folks can just call them and like pay for it (upfront) at the customer service booths in cash...
