    This is a policy which will hit the poor first and hardest. That’s contrary to all realistic and beneficial climate action. How about banning cruise ships docking at ports in the country?

        That’s definitely a big step. I’ve seen swappable battery packs from China that could make it pretty realistic too if they’re actually subsidizing it.

      I think you have no idea how polluting motorbikes are in the 3rd world. And if any are still 2 stroke, yikes. As with any electric vehicles, there is a up front cost but the lower maintenance, longevity, and electricity instead of gas is much cheaper. And we’re talking scooters, the price Delta is a lot lower than for cars.
