World Economic Forum Says It Is 'Time to Look Beyond' Private Vehicle Ownership

ICE will go the way of the horse and buggy

Auto manufacturers are no longer investing in them

Then why are governments banning the sale of them?

The companies aren't doing this because they want to, they are doing this because they think they won't be able to sell them anymore due to law, not demand.

Thank goodness for brave men like Klaus Schwab who rode their bike all the way to the world Economic forum.

Lockdowns due to the communist virus have prompted thousands to purchase private EV microtransportation. Badger's etrike will be enclosed for winter, equipped with solar panels and an experimental heating system.

According to the paper, “The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time.”

Could make sense to belong to a car sharing program

We give up freedoms so easily. Going on an airplane is a miserable trip because of the same thinking today.

If it's by choice then fine.

How bad for the environment is a car that is hardly ever driven?

ICE cars will be around as long as people keep buying them

But they intuitively sense that they're being left behind when they see an electric bike with a solar panel.

The Ivory Tower people and their naive thinking. It all seems simple to them but in the real world, it will not work.
Example: I doubt if anyone is going to allow me to move my ladders, wheel barrows and other tools in their vehicle drop me off on one job then be back to take me across town to another job. Or run someone all over town to do the shopping and keep appointments, buy groceries and pick up the kids from daycare.

You plebes are too dangerous having the liberty to freely move around on your own.

World Economic Forum Says It Is ‘Time to Look Beyond’ Private Vehicle Ownership

This article was originally published at The Post Millennial. The World Economic Forum (WEF) published a paper last week calling for the end of “wasteful” private car ownership. The WEF argued that communal sharing of cars would lessen globa

You will own nothing and be happy, mere serf.

So will VCRs

So will VCRs

We didn't have to ban VHS tapes to get them replaced.

It is bad for your wallet if you have to make a car payment, registration and insurance on a vehicle you rarely drive

I'm not a Christian per se, but if I happened to be looking for a candidate in regards to the identity of the antichrist, I'd have an awfully difficult time choosing between Schwab and Gates.

We banned incandescent light bulbs
How did that work out for you?

 

[Blues Man]

So will VCRs

Hardly a good analogy.

I don't think an EV can be compared to a DVD.

The DVD offered significant advantages over the VCR tape. An EV doesn't offer the same advantages in fact people will be giving up range and settling for longer drive times over long distances

"We"?

You were part of that, were you?

How is that the concern of the WEF?

What people spend their money on is none of your business.

I would pay to keep a car so I could go anywhere anytime I wanted instead of having to schedule a time spot. That would be a drag if you had to get somewhere in an emergency

EV offers better performance, lower operating costs and maintenance

I don’t know any EV owners that can’t wait to go back to ICE

That is why I think many families would buy one car and use car share for the rest of their family needs

Many would decide just to use car share
