> EVs aren't competing with bicycles and trains, they're competing with ICE cars. Both for market and attention. If bicycles could work instead of EVs where people want to introduce EVs, they would've already replaced ICEs in that role. This feels like a free market fallacy. “No one is buying it therefore it is not useful.” Well actually we have to plan our cities as we build, expand, and improve upon them. So we could decide to make them more bike friendly and then bikes would be a viable alternative to cars. But since the US doesn’t have a lot of bike friendly cities, that hasn’t happened. But it is our choice whether or not to build those cities. We have to exercise foresight to find the best solution. Otherwise we’re just making incremental changes which may not be best in the broader picture.
