It's a solution that would work in the next 7 years. Unfortunately I live in the American market where the automakers can't make an affordable car to save their life. I've been looking at the used EV market for a year (Hyundai Ioniq 5 or other non-tesla EV) but I just don't have a spare 20k rolling around in my pockets, nor a salary big enough to finance one. I do take public transportation when I can, but it just doesn't go by my workplace

Unfortunately if nothing slowly starts to change, it's gonna the same thing in several years. Other countries and region will have transitioned and liberated themselves of that dependency while others will still rely, depend, and hope cheap gas.

If someone is a smoker, it's still better to encourage them to try to stop continuously or multiple times, even if not successful, rather than hoping the person will just stop in the future.
