  > Weight -- electric car vs electric bike Adoption of each isn't exclusive of the other, so that's irrelevant. > Distance -- electric cars promote building places inefficiently No, they don't, as a replacement for ICE vehicles. If anything, they promote building things more efficiently. > Drop the constraint of needing cars, and you can make much better solutions Replacing some share of ICE cars with electric cars does not require active maintenance of a constraint of needing cars. Reconfiguring cities to not need cars is a slower process than replacing what cars are used, so there is a role for the latter even if the former is the main long-term solution (and even if it is and reduces the scope of pervasiveness of the need for cars, it is unlikely to replace all need.)
