US electric vehicle transition would save over 100k lives and $1T in healthcare

You know what would save more lives? better public transit. Electric cars don&#x27;t solve for car accidents and pedestrian strikes.<p>Yes, this is a bit of a non-sequitur, but electric cars continue to feel like an incremental improvement at best; as someone else mentioned - we&#x27;re exchanging where the carbon production happens unless we dramatically reduce our fossil fuel usage for power generation. And that doesn&#x27;t solve the accessibility and affordability problems of car-based transit.

What externalities are we exchanging carbon emissions for when we switch to electric vehicles?

Doubt that accounts for cancer. Petroleum has lots of documented carcinogenic mechanisms and compounds.<p>-enes and -anes are not good for you.

I&#x27;ve already started teaching my son to call ICE cars &quot;legacy cars&quot; and EVs &quot;normal cars.&quot;
