The number of places that have gas but no power is very, very low. Enough to ignore.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s amazing to me we have put all this work into a fantastic logistics network for gasoline and cough at the thought of chargers in all the same places.</text></comment>

The carbon impact of the construction of those would still be too high. The plan should be to invest in public transport and electric bicycles, and use electric cars when either of those options isn’t enough, to complement.&lt;p&gt;All cities built around cars (and that’s almost every American city for instance) will have to change—either by arranging for bicycles and building public transport or through floods, fires, and hurricanes.</text></comment>
