I’m not sure how we got here, but when discussing EVs this criticism always comes up, and forgive me if I’m making an incorrect assumption about you but it’s almost always from someone living in a North American city. Your points are valid in the context of your own area, but the world is a lot bigger and there are so many regions that have developed to require cars that cannot be switched to primarily public transport. Public transport can link small towns to each other for example, but they cannot bring every single inhabitant to and from their own address, and not everyone is able to just get out and walk instead.
The simple truth is that electric vehicles are better than vehicles that run on fossil fuels, and that is a valid and sensible opinion to have. Yes we should also have more public transport and walkable areas, but that is not a valid point against the introduction and distribution of EVs.
Maybe you misunderstood, I was agreeing with you and was saying how it’s not currently viable for me living in the suburbs in the US to use my electric bike to get to work, even though I don’t live far.
