Chen's proposal has caused widespread controversy, with many arguing that banning electric vehicles on the road will not solve the problem of traffic congestion, but will lead to more traffic problems. Some residents living in the old city pointed out that they could not afford to buy a car and had to choose to use electric vehicles, which means they could not travel if they were banned from the road. What's more, there was once an unemployed low-level worker who lost his job as a food delivery because his electric car was banned from the road, and his family's living expenses were in dire straits.
In fact, electric vehicles play an irreplaceable role in solving the problem of environmental pollution and traffic congestion, they can alleviate the pressure of urban traffic and reduce the pollution of exhaust emissions to the environment. For example, Shenzhen's Measures for the Administration of Electric Bicycles imposes a number of restrictions on electric vehicles, including a ban on driving on highways, but still encourages the use of low-speed electric vehicles.
Therefore, we should seek better solutions, such as improving traffic management, strengthening public transportation, and improving the carrying capacity of urban roads, to alleviate the negative impact of traffic congestion, rather than one-sidedly denying the use of electric vehicles.
