They're literally saying weather doesn't matter. I mean, you can hardly be more clear than "Infrastructure is more or less the sole deciding factor." I'm sorry

They're literally saying weather doesn't matter. I mean, you can hardly be more clear than "Infrastructure is more or less the sole deciding factor." I'm sorry for appearing confrontational, but the original comment was pretty much "we should ignore EVs and just skip to trains+bikes because they're better". I'm not disputing that bikes are ok, and as it happens I own several and love riding scooters. But taking "bikes are ok" and using it as a stick with which to hit EVs has just one result: later adoption of EVs, more people dying early because pollution, more carbon in the air. I didn't say that we need to chose just one solution. OP did, quite clearly. And then followed up with arguments which are rather weak, to which I'm responding a bit less politely than I otherwise would.
