      Or cycling. Or public transportation. Or buying a used car for when you need it and driving as little as possible.

      This idea that everyone should be buying a new car every decade or so is killing us.

          To a degree, but cars are not designed with disability in mind, and they are pushed on consumers to upgrade much more often than needed. Car lobbyist have successfully pushed towards building societies where everybody needs cars.

          It’s not natural and it’s not necessary.

          Of course new cars will still be needed and they should not be running on gasoline. But we need to consume less. Buying a new EV does not give you a low climate footprint.
