A car isn't the only type of vehicle. You can own an electric bike, which is an electric vehicle.
If you see “vehicle” and automatically think “car”, consider why that might be.
- selfhoster11 5y agoThat's worth pointing out, but sometimes you really do need a car. There's no way I'd be commuting to my office every day on a bike or by bus - the former thanks to the weather conditions, and the latter because of how much time is wasted in the traffic.
- grey_earthling 5y agoYeah, I agree that bikes and public transport can't meet everyone's needs right now. I'd also point out that the traffic holding up your bus is mostly cars :) so if enough people can be persuaded to shift to the denser form of transport (buses), those buses would waste less time in traffic — and so would the fewer people using cars out of necessity, and emergency services and so on.
- righttoolforjob 5y agoIt's because when someone means bike, they say bike.
- bambax 5y agoYes! Also, you can make your own ebike from a regular bike, a motor and a battery, and that gives you maximum freedom. It's also cheaper.
