Not in a meaningful or non-misleading way.
- lproven 3y agoI disagree. I bought a plug in hybrid in August. It's my first ever car. I am 56 years old. All my life to date, my primary vehicles have been bicycles or, for a few years in my 20s, motorcycles. A vehicle means a machine that carries people or cargo. Some definitions include an engine, but that would disqualify railway carriages, for instance, or horse-drawn carts, which I submit are indubitably vehicles. A bicycle is a vehicle, and an electric bike is 100% a vehicle by any definition. The headline could be better written as: "Electric vehicles are transforming road transportation, but they aren't the vehicles you expected."
- MiguelX413 3y agoI don't think it's fair to break down set phrases into their components and use them as if their meanings are mere sums of their components. It is undescriptivist.
- lproven 3y agoYou are of course free to think that. I think it's totally fair and I think you're wrong, but hey, whatever.
