That’s the wrong approach. Netherlands, the country with the best cycling infrastructure and cycling culture, still have significant car ownership, and more importantly, it is still growing: there will be about 10 million cars in the Netherlands by 2040. That amounts to 524 cars per 1,000 inhabitants, 24 more than two years ago. [0] Go to any resident areas of Netherlands, there are many more cars than you would expect. A myth has grown up about the Dutch being enthusiastic cyclists who live in green cities and rarely drive. In reality, the majority of journeys are made by motorized vehicles and people who live car-free are in a small and shrinking minority - [1] Major changes to society will be needed before meaningful reduction of car ownership can be expected. EV is a much better bet in the mean time. [0] - https://techzle.com/car-ownership-in-the-netherlands-continues-to-increase https://techzle.com/car-ownership-in-the-netherlands-continu...
