EV, if they are individual is not a solution.

Building a 2T machine to transport 95% of the time 80kg of human is the problem.

Having fuel, lithium, hydrogen or something else will not solve the big problem: we need to put more people in cars and reduce the amount of cars that we need.

The real EV revolution is e-bikes and other forms of micromobility. Already more e-bikes were sold in Germany last year than electric cars were sold in all of Europe.[0] In the Netherlands e-bikes outsold all cars last year, not just EVs.[1]
