I'm already seeing conservation on the streets as a market force response. A larger proportion of the parked cars have downsized, and I counted three Smart ForTwos on my walk today. Micromobility usage isn't quite as wild as it was in 2017 - less gimmicky e-skateboards and hoverboards - but it's also up overall with more e-bikes and e-scooters to be found all throughout big cities and easily rented by app. That's an option that wasn't around in the 70's, and it makes a tangible difference for the short urban trips since it doesn't create the same logistical issues as owning and locking up a pedal bike. The docked rental e-bikes here are charged by a solar PV, so they have very little footprint for the capacity they add. I expect to see quite a lot more of them in the next few years.
