I had a look at a few articles from this guy, and he's rather alarmist and very opinionated.
They just installed two light rail systems in the Seattle area. One, in Tacoma goes a whopping 2 miles. The other in Seattle cost billions and only goes between Seattle and the airport, completely bypassing a huge shopping mall.
Sometimes you have to wonder who the transport planners are working for.
I didn't think he said we need to do away with private transportation, he just said the current number of vehicles were a result of decades of cheap abundant oil, and those days are gone. To the degree that he is correct market forces will reduce the number and size of personal vehicles on the road. At some price per gallon all but the most efficient of vehicles will not be sustainable, and if the price per gallon begins to rise quickly enough we will not be able to compensate fast enough. He may be extreme but he may not be wrong.
I'm now watching the previous episode (87).
Nikki says she was driving the LEAF on the 'freeway' (we have motorways in the UK by the way) for 80 miles at 50mph, with no heating on, to make the range.
I was driving home the other night and someone was doing 50mph and forcing several articulated (semi-) trucks out around them. There was a huge gaggle of traffic building up behind them and it was then causing problems for people coming around a corner and trying to get across for the exit.
I've said it before but this was just another illustration. Driving at that speed on the motorway is at best, not helpful. I really think that sends out a bad message for EVs and especially to the people who see them doing it.
