Cars mean: Noise, deaths in accidents, sealing of surfaces, fine dust, exploitation of people and other living beings. Regardless of whether they are powered by electricity or a combustion engine

Above all, electric cars mean: more cars on the roads.
Electric cars are often bought as second or third cars. The number of cars on the road increases.
Electric cars also mean: more coal and nuclear power
A switch of the entire car fleet in this country to electric cars would increase the electricity demand of the transport sector by 15-30 percent in the next 30 years.
Electric cars are a means of transport for rich people
Acquisition costs for electric cars (especially for batteries) are significantly higher than for combustion cars. This means that a switch to electric cars is only possible for financially privileged groups of the population.
Electric cars consume even more raw materials than combustion cars.
Especially lithium (+2.898%) and cobalt (+1.928%). Also rare earths (+655%), graphite (+525%), but also steel, aluminium, etc. because electric cars are significantly larger and heavier than equivalent combustion cars.
Electric cars eat up massive amounts of public money
Subsidies for the purchase of cars, expansion of charging infrastructure, subsidised electricity especially for e-cars, but also money for road construction, parking spaces… This money could be better spent on a well-developed, free public transport system.

From an interview with Pro Bahn state chairman Malte Diehl, in: taz on 20.9.2022
Why is Lower Saxony so reluctant to reactivate railway lines, Mr Diehl? The advantages are actually obvious.
Malte Diehl: The current state government has not shown much ambition and has been more concerned with promoting electric mobility for cars.

We want…

• a real, socially and ecologically just change in transport, for which we want
• well-developed and free public transport, bike roads, car-free and liveable city centres,
• a continuation of VW as a cooperatively run company, in the course of which a
• a conversion of VW production facilities to the construction of sustainable products – specifically: trams
• A future in which solidarity counts more than profit.
