    Well, when the average person is having trouble buying groceries and paying rent, they can’t really afford to buy a fancy electric car. Particularly when their apartment complexes and workplaces have nowhere to charge them. Also, they’re doing good just to keep what they have running, much less blowing a bunch of money on something new.

    It also doesn’t help that our ‘leaders’ (if you can call them that) are doing everything in their power to avoid building trains and bike lanes.

      Worse, in my jurisdiction (Ontario, Canada), the government has decided to rip up bike lanes… to “reduce congestion” i.e. to own the libs.

      The federal government has announced a plan to build high-speed rail along the major population corridor. But they’ll be soon replaced by idiots whose whole platform is “undo it all”.
