Obviously cars and trucks have their uses. We're just not putting them to good use, and hybrids and electrics will not solve that problem. Most people who "need" their car for work are stuck in a system that makes them need their car for work. If a guy has to take three busses and spend two hours twice a day getting to and from work, it's understandable that he would take his car and get there in 20 minutes. The problem is that hybrids/electrics won't help change that. They'll lull the government into thinking that it's not necessary to invest in public transit to solve global warming issues.

Well... dude(it's not my name BTW)... It's obvious you live in the city or close around. You said in your post that we shouldn't buy any car even EVs. That's from your point of view and I don't agree because here there are no public transports, and so it is for the rest of the province. So far only big centers have them. Do you have a car... children? If I had to rent a vehicle to do my chores, I'd have to rent one at least every two days minimum. Better to own a good one or a horse and buggy. Personnally, I'd rather have an EV and a solar array to feed it's batteries. They say "Buy an EV and solar panels and you bought a car and its fuel supply for thirty years!" That's plenty sense enough unless you live in the cities.
Montreal's public transport is already saturated and trains are late every day. And they say to take the bus as the system is going bankrupt.
