only things

Just to list a few things EVs are good at that public transit isn't:

• private transportation that isn't long-distance, as abhibeckert@lemmy.world's comment describes
  • less total energy consumption
  • no awful emissions for everyone around you and for yourself, so e.g. inside a parking structure it wouldn't be so awful to breathe
• anything you can't do on public transit, such as:
  • moving small furniture
  • taking your pet to a vet, or anywhere else for that matter (it might be allowed on public transport in certain cases but it would still be much more of a hassle difference compared to normal human taking public transport vs personal car)
• it's still good at driving on highways, it's just better at driving in other scenarios.

I don't want a car and I use public transportation, couldn't let that fly though. EVs have their place. Not to mention electric buses are EVs and are even a better riding experience.
