this was a good share

it seems like it's all about vehicle weight. A 4000 lb EV takes much more energy to accelerate than a 200 lb ebike.
And the auto manufacturers, at least in the US, are focusing their EV products on very large vehicles that maintain a high profit margin
which means big motors, big batteries, and ultimately big energy generated somewhere to power those vehicles.
the ebike is a great solutiion for getting groceries or running errands. I would say the big limitation on uptake is infrastructure and prevailing road / traffic environment
sadly many american cities are so car-centric that ridiing an e-bike is just not an option for most people.
that said I think anytime people are getting out of their cars, well that's a good thing.
