I’d love to be proven wrong but I think the only way to reduce car dependency in the suburbs would be to knock them down and start over again. Which won’t happen. So EVs are an environmental positive at least.

If the bus isn't very frequent or it doesn't have a good route where you want to go - cars are cheap enough and no traffic to they are not painful. great transit is not cheap. It needs $200/month per family. This is less than the family is spending on one car (of 2-3), but still a lot of money (more than any transit agency in the world gets). You can't start smal either because until you have everything right driving is strictly better so nobody will try it. Even if you build it, expect several years for people to try it.
