      You’re just reiterating my points. Yes they are better. And for people without a choice living in car dependent he’ll holes - an improvement.

      But the fact that you live in a car dependent he’ll hole is another failure of our society - and prevents you from using much better options.

      We should be addressing the root cause. Not the symptom.

      In functional societies, EVs are a small improvement. The noise and carcinogen pollution, land use impact and simple danger to soft street users are key damages ALL cars make to spaces occupied by people.

      Finally - I am tired of “we need cars for those with impairments / to reliever things / other bullshit.” We do not. It’s just the completely broken car-dependent American perspective.
