    EVs are a good next step but they still use tires that break down leaving microplastics in the environment and a study showed they may even leave more.,

      It doesn’t have to stay that way, and probably won’t. Batteries improve by 5-8% per year. We’re also reaching the point where, with better charging infrastructure, we don’t particularly need longer range. Weight can go down rather than range going up.

      There’s no reason EVs have to be heavier than ICE cars, and they probably won’t be in the next few years.
