    Consequently, emissions for each traveler in the electric vehicle stand at just over 18% of the equivalent emissions from a direct flight and 25% of the emissions from the predominantly diesel-powered train journey.

    u could repurpose a 800Kwh Tesla Semi and turn it into a Tesla bus, in case u can’t run electric trains everywhere, and want to benefit from electric transportation without it costing a leg, all while still consolidating travel, and thus minimizing emissions. electric cars charged with fossil generated electricity save on 33% of carbon emissions, compared to gasoline cars. u would achieve the rest 66% by using solar generated electricity instead.
