Marginally, compared to the large detriment that car dependency objectively is, and the raw materials extraction required for everybody to own 1, 2, 3+ cars. My comparison isn’t with ICE cars, it’s with functional public transit systems. I don’t wish to argue about the particulars because inherently cars are the wrong solution to moving a lot of people around, because it’s bad for society and doesn’t even scale well, evidenced by the 401 and many other major highways.
No matter how you try to twist it, less noise, higher torque, regen braking, no local emissions and home charging are better for society.
