There is also a social engineering aspect. Our populations and cities have been developed in a spread out fashion with services and shops established in hubs. They aren’t the villages of the early 1900s. The car was the major design influence, hence the problem. Some people are lucky and can walk, others are able to cycle however many just can’t conceive anything other than a car. That’s where EVs come in.
The relevance is the difficulty in convincing people who live in cities designed for car traffic to stop driving and start walking. Distances are large enough to get significant push back.
The cities need a glow up first. But it’s more than just an infrastructure problem. To my knowledge there’s no laws requiring grocery store chains to not have a monopoly or not be hella far away
You do you, other people live in the city

I don’t see how that’s relevant but yes
