And the incentives are there. Electric cars are quiet, clean, and much cheaper to drive and to maintain.

But apparently not enough for most people, otherwise no one would want an ICE car anymore.

Teslas are too expensive, and the other car manufacturers are behind on getting a full range of models out. I expect that to change the next two years or so.

> odd/even rule for license plates Friendly reminder that Beijing has been implementing exactly that, then later a variant of that, since 2008. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_space_rationing_in_Beijin...

Friendly reminder that measures like this unevenly affect people in different social classes, because those who are well-off can just buy two cars and be completely unaffected.

To that end Beijing also implements a car registration quota per year where applicants are randomly picked
