Lets not be disingenuous. Even though public transport is the way to go, supported by some shuttles in special use cases and the rare electrical car in use, Electrical Vehicles are the way to go.

There is a reason that a large amount of new cars in China are electrical ones and it isn’t the case that electrical cars have to be expensive - in fact they are typically average priced and can be cheap, especially if you compare the virtually non existing gas costs (15-25$ per month). Furthermore the lifetime cost of repair seem to be cheaper for electrical consumer vehicles.

Everything I said isn’t true for Teslas though, they ought to burn. Also in the US the insurance for electrical cars is surprisingly expensive compared to Vietnam and Germany.
