Have we ever thought they were a solution and not just a stopgap?

Until proper alternatives are fully operational, EVs are not the worst thing.

You’re undercutting your own argument here.

EVs make sense in rural contexts, but that is and will always be a niche application. We can’t afford to ignore the bigger picture - most people live in cities. There are more efficient and better options to decarbonize cities than electric cars.

As the other commenter pointed out, electric cars are a step. A lot of people living in cities are ready to go farther now though. Let’s not ignore them or get in their way.

While electric cars are an improvement over ICE vehicles that will help the planet, there’s still a lot more potential to decarbonize cities faster and help people get moving again by investing in alternatives to driving and upzoning everywhere permissively to legalize traditional development patterns ie mixed use, walkable, transit oriented streets.

You can always reach out to the maintainers to see. Some of them might have behind the scenes work going on, others might consider the crate complete if it’s already hit 1.0.0.

I don’t think you’ll find a one size fits all answer here, it depends the crate.
