So maybe we will have to think about transport without oil. From walking to the electric car via the 2 wheels ...
In fact I am trying to generalize my eco-driving to my lifestyle.
I do not confine myself to the car. So what I spend on "energy saving" work is valid whatever the field.
My 100% carbon tax should allow me to implement solutions to reduce all my consumption, not just petrol. (in addition to petrol, I also reduced my electrical consumption (35% last year, 10% this year), my water consumption)
And in terms of transportation, I tested the bike 2 or 3 days a week. it does it. But I have to get on and off the bike by car (mountain cause).
And I'm asking to buy (on the energy budget) an electric bicycle wheel to adapt it. (to climb the 400m drop)
As for the electric car, I don't see where the economy or sustainable development is. in this false solution (which in my opinion is only there to reassure the average consumer by making them believe that he will still be able to travel on the cheap for the next decades).
On this last point, true and false.
Mass transport, oversized and energy-consuming, very often useless (Cf. 800 km traffic jams this summer in France in large thermal vehicles) will disappear, that's for sure.
On the other hand, there is sustainable and economic development when:
1) the electric car draws its energy from renewable sources,
2) and that the displacements are justified a minimum.
I like to say that
the electric car only has the ecology of the electrical outlet where it plugs. In France, it is a nuclear car, in Denmark a coal car, in Norway a hydraulic car ...
Etc
