    I think there’s a lot of great arguments about why someone living in a city of most sizes doesn’t need a car and can use a bicycle for most of their needs.

    I don’t think it applies to vast swaths of America.

    Edit: And, yeah, that’s an issue.

      also, just because you would never need to own an ev because you live in a city doesnt mean you would never benefit from one. your deliveries arent made by bike and never would be. your emergency services, bulk transport like buses…

      its just silly and short-sighted to tell people to ignore electric vehicles

        Actually my deliveries are often done by bike.

            I mean the last few kms of course. But food delivery is usually by bike.
