43 inches, my arse is wider than Britain which is a tiny country. Furthermore our cities and suburbs have been modeled on American ideas which are predicated on cheap private transport.
Translation: We drive 10+ km to Woolies, Coles or Aldi. There is no full service "village shop" within 500m walking distance. We do not have the population density outside the peoples republics of Balmain or Northcote to fund European style public transport. We cannot afford the recharger networks for EV and neither can the rest of the undeveloped world, even if we had the double capacity grid to power it.
We are not constructed of tiny well integrated cities.
You are just another of the impractical dreamers with no grasp of logistics.
Yes, we do need to move towards EV, but in a deliberate well planned operation over 50+ years.
How about you start with local delivery trucks within say 20 km of city centre? See how easy that is. Strangely enough, the mining industry may be all EV befere cities.
