while the headline is a bit self-evident, the article itself covers a lot of interesting ground on the politics and practical implementation of doing this, and what places around the world are doing to try and reduce car usage

The title was against the claim getting EVs will solve climate change, and suggested reducing car use instead. Since it didn't refute the overarching claim that climate change can be stopped by getting rid of cars, I thought it was still advocating that position, just a more extreme version. Sorry for the misunderstanding
