BellingenNSWAustralians rely heavily on private vehicles - combustion engines or EVs"Car dependence causes various problems that are not adequately accounted for in current pricing regimes. These include carbon emissions, productivity costs of congestion, traffic deaths and injuries to people and animals, respiratory and systemic diseases from exhaust and tyre particles, and cardiovascular disease from sedentary behaviour."EVs "generate many of the negative impacts of conventional vehicles, electric vehicles are not a sustainable mode of urban transport. And there is increasing recognition that moving from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles won’t reduce the impact of climate change within emergency timeframes.""Australian cities need to move quickly and decisively away from the car as a means of urban transport. The best way to reduce damage from car use in cities is to reduce usage overall.
