Shai Agassi has a plan. : comments [Battles with Integrity]

I haven't actually watched the video yet, but maybe you could be non-passionate about it because an elaborate electric car infrastructure encourages people to still want to drive cars everywhere instead of living walkable or bikeable lives?

Alas, the moral argument, while excellent, rarely changes minds. Were I able to wave a magic wand and make everyone want to live walkeable and bikeable, I might, but I've no magic wand. Instead, I have to look also at what can be done in context of how people actually want to live.

I don't believe that I can change anybody's mind either, for whatever that's worth. But I don't think that everyone who lives a car-dominated life -- like me -- necessarily actually wants to, but instead is likely doing whatever seems easy, cheap, and convenient, and might well live differently if it were easier, cheaper, and more convenient.
