Why We Cannot Do Without Electric Vehicles
Why can we not do without the electric bicycle?
Because for courier staff, food delivery riders, and the countless people rushing about at ordinary posts, the electric bicycle is no longer a simple way of getting around. It is an essential support for their basic work in society and touches the livelihood of feeding a whole family. Why can we not do without the electric bicycle? Because our lives already cannot do without it!
Because since 1998, after more than ten years of development, the electric bicycle industry provides the country with 200 billion yuan of GDP and 10 billion yuan in taxes and profits each year and creates six million jobs. Why can we not do without the electric bicycle? Because we want a better life!
Because traffic-jammed cities keep multiplying. Endless lines of cars lengthen commutes, constant accelerating and braking burn more fuel, and engine noise lowers the quality of urban life. Why can we not do without the electric bicycle? Because we want traffic that flows!
Because raging smog has made clean air a luxury to breathe. Smog is more terrible than SARS; like a frog boiled in slowly warming water, disaster is only a matter of time! According to the National Practical Handbook on Energy Saving and Emission Reduction, one electric vehicle cuts nearly half a ton of carbon dioxide emissions a year, equivalent to the reduction effect of planting 26 trees! The 200 million electric vehicles equal the emission reduction of 5.2 billion trees! Why must electric bicycles not be banned? Because we want a clean sky under which our children can run!
The electric vehicle is the main means of transport for hundreds of millions of ordinary people. Its right of way concerns not only the whole industry but also the livelihood of hundreds of millions. Winning road rights for electric vehicles takes the joint effort of you, me, and everyone!
