Are you preparing to buy an electric car yet?

@SunshineGirl Why?

@LordShadowfire So that the the large areas of the city in which I work, which are occupied by vehicles that lie idle for an average of 96% of the week, can be more usefully redeployed for housing, public recreation etc.

@SunshineGirl I see. I thought you wanted to deprive people of private time on the way to or from work.

@SunshineGirl That requires a massive radical change to the entire structure of societies, workplaces, transport infrastructure, etc. For example, I do shiftwork and it would be impossible to car-share or car-pool with the irregularity of my shift start/finish times.

@LordShadowfire If housing supply could meet demand in my city, many more people would not require any transport at all to get to and from work.

@zonavar68 Yes, it certainly would do. But a good start would be to repopulate city centres.
