Ngabe ama-Urbanites azowakhokhisa kuphi ama-EV awo?
Abanikazi bezindlu abanamagaraji bangakwazi ukushaja kalula izimoto zabo zikagesi, kodwa hhayi abahlala emafulethini.Nakhu okuzodingeka ukuze uthole amapulaki yonke indawo emadolobheni.
NGAKHO unendlu enhle enegaraji ongashaja kuyo imoto yakho kagesi—uphila esikhathini esizayo.Uyaxolisa futhi—kukude nokwasekuqaleni: amaphesenti angama-90 abanikazi be-US EV banamagaraji abo.Kodwa maye kwabasemadolobheni.Amashaja akhelwe ezindaweni zokupaka amafulethi ambalwa futhi akude kakhulu.Futhi njengokungathi ukupaka edolobheni akulona iphutha elibi ngokwanele, ukuncintisana kwezindawo zasemgwaqweni ezingaxhunywanga kushiya ama-EV ephumile kugesi owanika ukuphila.Ungakwazi yini ukungena ezintanjeni zamandla ngenhla bese ufaka intambo ku-Tesla yakho?Impela, uma ukhetha ibhayoloji yakho ibe crispy eyengeziwe.Kodwa indlela engcono iyeza, ngoba abantu abahlakaniphile basebenzela ukuletha amandla kuma-EV asemadolobheni omile.
Lezi yizindaba ezinhle, ngoba ukuguqula izimoto zamadolobha ashunqayo zibe ezikagesi kuzoba yingxenye ebalulekile yanoma yiluphi uhlelo lokunqanda ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu okuqhubekayo.Kodwa ukukholisa abantu abahlala emadolobheni ukuthi bazitholele ama-EV kunzima.Ngisho nalabo asebefikelwe yizinkathazo ngobubanzi bamabhethri bazothola zingekho izindawo eziningi zokuwashaja.Kuzodingeka othile akulungise lokho, kusho uDave Mullaney, ofundela ugesi njengothishanhloko wethimba le-Carbon-Free Mobility e-Rocky Mountain Institute, inhlangano yocwaningo egxile ekusimameni.“Okucacayo njengamanje wukuthi ziyeza izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi, zizosheshe zigcwale imakethe yabantu abacebile ngamagaraji,” usho kanje."Kumele banwebe ngaphezu kwalokho."
Ngakho-ke umgomo ucacile: Yakha amashaja amaningi.Kodwa ezindaweni eziminyene, umbuzo waphakade uwukuthi, kuphi?Futhi kanjani ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ngeke kuphela ukufinyeleleka, kodwa ezishibhile ngokwanele ukuba ubani ukuzisebenzisa?
"Anginaso isiqiniseko sokuthi kukhona isu elilingana konke," kusho uPolly Trottenberg, iphini likanobhala wezokuthutha waseMelika, ngesikhathi ekhuluma nabezindaba ngoLwesine.Wayezokwazi: UTrottenberg, kuze kube muva nje, wayeyinhloko yoMnyango Wezokuthutha eNew York City, lapho ayengamele isabelo sakhe esifanele sokuhlolwa kokushaja kwe-EV.Okungenani imali isendleleni yokusiza amadolobha ukuthi akubone lokho.Umthethosivivinywa wengqalasizinda wombuso ubuqukethe amabhiliyoni angama-7.5 ukuxhasa amakhulu ezinkulungwane zeziteshi zokushaja zomphakathi.Amazwe okuhlanganisa neCalifornia—esithembise ukuthi izoyeka ukuthengisa izimoto ezintsha ezisebenza ngegesi ngo-2035—nazo zinezinhlelo ezinikelwe ekwakheni amashaja amaningi.
Nokho, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iyini isu, ukunqanda inkinga kubalulekile uma amadolobha—kanye nezinhlaka—zifuna ukunamathela emigomweni emikhulu yokuthuthukisa ukulingana, ukufinyeleleka, kanye nobulungiswa bobuhlanga, osopolitiki abaningi abaye bayibiza njengezinto eziza kuqala.Phela abantu abahola kancane abakwazi ukushintsha izimoto zesintu baye kwezikagesi baze bathole ingqalasizinda yokushaja ethengekayo.Isilingo sonxiwankulu kungaba ukuvumela izinkampani ezizimele zilwe ukubona ukuthi ubani ongafaka amashaja amaningi ezindaweni eziningi.Kepha lokho kubeka engcupheni yokudala izingwadule ezishajayo, indlela i-US esivele inazo izingwadule zokudla, izindawo ezimpofu lapho amaketanga egrosa engazihluphi ngokusungula isitolo.Izikole zomphakathi e-US zinokungalingani kwesakhiwo okufanayo: Uma isisekelo sentela siphezulu, imfundo yendawo iba ngcono.Futhi njengoba ibhizinisi lokushaja elisafufusa lifiphele impela njengamanje, uhulumeni uzodinga ukuqhubeka nokuqondisa izinsiza noma uxhaso emiphakathini ehola kancane ukuze aqinisekise ukuthi iyafakwa uma umnotho we-EV usuthuthukile.
Ukwenza ukukhokhisa okuhle okuxhaswe ngabakhokhi bentela, hhayi enye imali yebhizinisi, kungasiza ukukhuthaza ukwamukelwa kwama-EV ezindaweni zasemadolobheni ezineholo eliphansi—angase anikezwe amandla ngezinhlawulo zelanga eziphethwe umphakathi.Ukudonsa izimoto ezihamba ngegesi emgwaqeni kuzothuthukisa izinga lomoya wendawo, okuyinto embi kakhulu kwabampofu kanye nabantu bemibala.Futhi ukufaka amashaja emiphakathini engenazo zonke izinsizakusebenza kuzobaluleka ikakhulukazi ngoba abathengi kulezi zindawo bangase babe maningi amathuba okuba babe nama-EV asetshenzisiwe anamabhethri amadala angabutholi ububanzi obufanele, ngakho-ke bazodinga ukushajwa okungaguquki.
Kodwa ukuthola ukuthengwa kwezakhamuzi kulezo zindawo kuzoba bucayi, ngoba imiphakathi enemibala isijwayele “ukunganakwa okungathathi hlangothi noma okunesizotha futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nezinqumo zenqubomgomo [yezokuthutha] eziyingozi,” kusho u-Andrea Marpillero-Colomina, ongumeluleki wezokuthutha ohlanzekile e- I-GreenLatinos, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo.Emiphakathini engawazi ama-EV, okungenzeka athembele egalaji likaphethiloli noma izitolo ezijwayelekile zokulungisa izimoto ukuze athole imisebenzi, ukuvela kwamashaja kungazelelwe kungase kubukeke njengesandulela sokuqina, uthi—uphawu olungokoqobo lokuthi ayashintshwa.
Ezinye izindawo zasemadolobheni sezivele zizama amasu amasha okushaja, ngayinye inokwenyuka nokwehla kwayo.Amadolobha amakhulu afana ne-Los Angeles ne-New York City, namancane afana ne-Charlotte, North Carolina, ne-Portland, Oregon, aswayiphele imibono egqamile evela e-Europe futhi afaka amashaja eduze kwezindawo eziseceleni komgwaqo, ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nakumalambu omgwaqo.Lezi zivame ukushibhile ukuzifaka, ngoba isikhala noma isigxobo kungenzeka ukuthi singesosizo lwendawo noma idolobha, futhi izintambo ezidingekayo sezivele zikhona.Kungaba lula futhi kubashayeli ukuthi bafinyelele kukho ngisho neshaja egalaji likaphethiloli: Vele upake, uxhume, bese uhamba.
