Immensely proud that #COP26 Transport Day is being kicked off with the unveiling of a new EV chargepoint design for the UK🔌

The concept has been brilliantly created by @RCA & @PA_Consulting, putting ease of use & accessibility at the heart of EV charging.

“Airplanes should no longer be means of transporting [people] in 1 hour 15 minutes, which could be done at lower cost of CO2 by train in 2.5 hours. This must be the rule, and we will enforce it.”

Nederlandse Spoorwegen boasts 3,400 km of train track connecting 410 stations—at least one in every single municipality in the country.

With 81% of the population living within 7.5 km—comfortable cycling distance—of a station, the national railway operates like a national metro.

Reality check: b/c of embodied carbon + battery production, electric car only starts saving emissions after 40,000 miles.
Existing EV fleet will reduce global temperatures by just1/100,000 of a degree C by 2100.
Real solution: end car-dependency—and don't buy a Tesla.

"As the city filled with mobile strangers, even next-door neighbours became strangers. This is the story of the motorcar, and it has not much longer to run."
—Marshall McLuhan, 1964
(20 yrs later, Donald Appleyard's pioneering research proved McLuhan's intuition exactly right.)
