Isn't it already the case?
A brand new C1 is about 12K€. That's not even twice the price of an electrified cargo bike (I saw about 7/8K€ floated around the other day).
And if you go for used, you can get cars in good enough shape for less than 5K€.
Obviously, the additional car will have a much higher running cost than if you went for an electrified cargo bike or stuck to a single car. Forcing people to make that conscious choice would be a pro in my opinion.
- pif 4y agoI admit I fell in a lucky spot, but 12 k€ is just a bit less than what I paid my new Jeep Renegade, so I don't consider it that cheap. > electrified cargo bike Hilly area? Taking children to school or old parent to the doctor's? Not a chance! > stuck to a single car Yes, the SUV. Edit: > if you go for used, you can get cars in good enough shape for less than 5K€. Yeah, that's nicer. Unfortunately, you have to add insurance and maintenance, plus a parking spot at home. Still too much for people to accept non-tiny cars to be banned from the city.

- pmyteh 4y agoYeah. I've been towing my children to school in a trailer behind my (non-electric) bike. Not particularly difficult, given the route is mostly flat, though I'm grateful it's only a mile and a half each way (I'm old and unfit). Mind you, there's only one other family that does it. Most people just walk, some drive.
