EVs are better than ICE cars, but they're still a bandaid. Low occupancy vehicles aren't sustainable, and that doesn't change with a minor increase in efficiency and decarbonization.

They still take up too much space, both on the road and when parked.

They are still a menace to public health, especially anyone not in a car. Hell, they're a menace to people in shops and sitting in their living rooms.

They are still noisy (in fact, artificially so.)

They don't address transportation inequality; in fact, spending on things like public chargers are just further subsidization while cities boo-hoo about how there's no money to build a cycletrack or put down some paint.
