Doubt it. The next chapter for EVs will be truly affordable vehicles, which naturally tend to be smaller. And with a more compact size (and most likely less batteries) will come lower weight. Besides, ICE cars have gotten heavy, too. So the extra 400kg headroom that EVs have should give them a decent fighting chance.
Because heavy electric cars still pollute more than light electric cars through tire and brake particles. Taxing by size would be neat, but I understand that that would make the calculation even more complicated.
> A 2 ton Model Y produces much less pollution than an ICE compact car.
Because a 1.5t Zoe pollutes even less :P We can argue about the cut-off line, but it'll be arbitrary - the only thing for certain is that the mayor seems to agree with the sentiment.
This is not about ICE vs EV, this is about big vs small. Opulent vs necessary. Like the mayor is quoted saying in the article: It's about "very expensive cars, driven by people who today have not yet made the changes to their behaviour that have to be made". Heavy cars pollute more with their tires and brakes. That is why even heavy electric cars are affected.
Maybe. Many countries in the EU already place heavy taxes on engine displacement, so a curb weight tax or vehicle size tax wouldn't be something entirely new.
> In my experience, Svelte did a much better job and is closer to vanilla html/js
I just looked at some Svelte examples and it's a mix of magic keywords (on, bind) with magic symbols (: | @) and new, completely unrelated syntax to both JS and HTML (#each, #if, :else). I guess it looks way more idiomatic if you have an IDE that highlights and lints it correctly. React with its few rules of hooks seems way closer to vanilla JS.
Whats the point of this comment? You're obviously an extreme outlier. Are you implying the 49€ ticket is bad because it isn't an improvement for every single citizen?
Companies have been aware of the reputation gains for over a decade now. Modern Warfare 2 got tons of backlash when it released without a server browser in 2009. The next CoD, Black Ops 1, had support for dedicated servers. So did Modern Warfare 3.
Somewhat off-topic: Is there a way to stop any application from stealing focus? I hate it when the Terminal app grabs the focus while I'm typing something.
