Cars will always be the best choice for many many trips for many many kinds of people. Cities are most efficient but not everyone can be in one, and public transit doesn't work in farmland. We need both. EVs is a way to reduce the use of fossil fuels in transportation. We don't have time to wait to densify every city and build out good transit networks, that will take decades. EVs have real benefits today. It just sucks modern cars are nightmares.

Guess who drives the most in total.

And guess how much it can be reduced with good public transport.
