Tesla faces order to stop making cars at California factory, under coronavirus lockdown

Every non-boutique bicycle manufacturer.
Every public transit company.

The electric vehicles everybody oohs and aahs about - the electric car - is not going to be the one that makes the biggest difference to our greenhouse gas emissions. Because the number of joules required to accelerate a tonne of matter from zero to 100 km/hr, the amount of road space a car needs, the amount of parking space a car needs - none of those care about the car’s engine technology.

The thing that’s going to make the difference will be the more humble electric assist bicycle.
