One person moving in a multi-ton metal box gets $9,000, and one person moving on an efficient micromobility device gets $225. Electric cars do not solve for congestion, storage, sedentary lifestyle, injury/death due to crashes. The battery in ONE gaint electric SUV could power hundreds of e-bikes.

Make America Drive Again: Trump’s Campaign Against Bike Lanes is Bewildering
Trump should know that cars take up 80 percent of public space in cities, generate air pollution, and kill over 40,000 Americans every year.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

The affordability of car-light living: "American households – maybe not most of them, but a significant percentage of them – have the opportunity to dump one of their cars and save a bunch of money." Urbanists should hammer away at this point, noting how e-bikes/cargo bikes make it easier.
