Everytime I read one of these pieces they seem to all miss one of the biggest reasons I personally favor electric vehicles; concentrated traffic of combustion vehicles and local pollution.

The health and local environmental effects of vehicle pollution in cities are very real, noise too when it comes to buses and heavy vehicles. This is yet another area where we see a urban vs rural divide.

Combustion vehicles also can get less efficient and more polluting over their lifespan where EVs can have cleaner energy sources without needing to alter the vehicle.
