Rifkin's TIR, pillar 5/5: electric vehicles

Last but not least, the TIR's fifth pillar is about transitioning to electric vehicles (EV), which role is of course to be energy-efficient but also to integrate the first four pillars:

• EV should be as green as possible and be based on renewables (first pillar)

• EV could store excessive electricity in their batteries (third pillar)
• EV can connect to the grid and therefore participate in the complex game of electricity sharing (fourth pillar)
