I still don't understand how forcing electric vehicles would work logistically in many cities. For example, much of the Vancouver area is occupied by multi-tenant suites. You have detached homes that were designed for single families, that are now housing 2, 3 or even more families or households. This means that most of the parking is first-come-first-serve street parking. For example, it's not uncommon that I need to park several blocks from home if I work late. Charging up every night would be hit and miss.

For me, it all comes back to city planning and affordable housing. Design cities that require fewer cars, buy and manufacture locally even if goods cost more, and make housing affordable and easier to procure so that people can live near their work.

If someone wants to live in a large detached home with a big yard and commute across the city for work, they should be taxed more and those taxes used to subsidize the rents for people who choose to give up their car (or at least drastically reduce their reliance on it) so they can live near their work. I know that idea won't be popular, but rents in major commercial areas are more than the mortgages suburbanites pay.

Climate change isn't going to be stopped with little gestures, it is going to take a massive change in how our civilization operates and our expectations for luxuries.
