Why Electric Cars Are Not the Answer | The Truth with Florian Kobler

Are electric cars really the future — or just a cleaner version of the same problem? In this eye-opening episode of the Guten Tag Podcast, I talked with mobility activist Florian Kobler, one of the main spoken voices from the movement AutoFreiBerlin, about why electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t the ultimate solution for our cities. From traffic congestion to urban sprawl and climate impact, we explore how reducing car dependence altogether — not just swapping engines — is the real path forward. Florian shares insight from his work in Berlin’s sustainable urban planning scene and explains how car-free cities, public transportation, and walkable neighborhoods can offer a truly livable alternative. 🚶‍♂️ Topics we cover: – Why EVs still contribute to urban problems – The environmental cost of electric car production – How car-centric policies shape our cities – What a people-first urban design looks like – Real-world changes happening in Berlin 00:00 Introduction to Electric Vehicles and Pollution 00:15 Disinformation and Industry Bias 01:13 Personal Connection to the Car Industry 01:51 Lifecycle and Efficiency of Electric Vehicles 02:21 The Problem of Tire Abrasion 03:02 The Bigger Picture: Carpooling and Parking 04:34 Underutilization of Cars
