So North America is limited to its large places? New York isn’t in North America.
The last mile problem doesn’t negate the fact that for 85% of people an electric vehicle is possible in five years.

Of course, a small minority won’t be able to make the switch right away and will have to hang on to gas. That’s fine! Even to this day, 98% of houses have refrigerators. According to your logic, we shouldn’t allow businesses to sell refrigerated milk because of this 2%.
