    Electric cars are heavier, noise dampened, and have the same blind spots, they do accelerate faster though depending on the situation that can just make an inattentive driver more dangerous.

    Electric cars are better environmentally then gas cars but they certainly don’t absolve the need for traffic signals the way purely pedestrian and cycle traffic would

      They are better, but only in a few ways. They are still very bad for causing sprawl, they shed microplastics etc.
