There is little wrong with combustion cars, at least compared to electric cars Compared to actual solutions, both suck ass

That is absurd on its face.

ICE cars haven’t significantly improved in close to a century, electric cars are becoming more affordable, efficient, and sustainable every year.

ICE cars are much more trouble to maintain and cost more to maintain, and as of this year, produce.

ICE cars release more pollutants, while electric cars are annually decreasing and can continue to decrease their pollutants.

There’s a huge difference between electric and ICE, don’t let some imagined ideal stop you from supporting a practical leap in the right direction.

Seems like a surprising move, of all the countries that can do it I’d have thought Ethiopia would be near the bottom.

I guess this would also only apply to individuals and not HGVs?

I’m pro trying it, but have my doubts about how viable this is.

Per the article, viability is caused by an inability to afford oil, so electric becomes appreciably more reliable by comparison.

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
