We do have a climate crisis that needs to be addressed. Ultimately, to manage climate change, the world needs to stop emitting greenhouse gases from vehicles and power plants. Electric vehicles powered from a clean grid are an essential step in the right direction. That has a significant impact on safety for all road users.
