Concrete produces 8% of global CO2 emissions. It would be ironic to have people switch to EVs in order to reduce CO2 emissions and then produce more concrete to build roads for them.
Replacing all the roads with concrete everywhere is going to be expensive. Would it be cheaper to displace the weight over a larger surface area? I propose putting giant off-road tires on all EV's and in full disclosure I just want that to happen because I think it would look amazing and EV's could still be somewhat usable after the apocalypse. EV's have enough torque. Let's make this happen.
