I can easily see that, if people were given a choice, the vast majority would choose a route like this.

But, it won't be as pervasive as this guy thinks. It sounds great. I don't need to drive my personal car to work, but will instead be provided an EV by my company? Great!

However, what happens when I want to run by the store on my way home? Or I need to pack 5 kids into the car and head to a town 2 hours away for that Biddy basketball tournament? Or I need to grab some soil and plants for my garden?

Yes, we may have a LOT more EVs in the future. But, I think that most families will still have one or two cars. Think about it . . .

Can you name one period in human history where people have not needed personal transportation? People had horses, then coaches, then cars. During that time, we've had trains, planes, boats, and now EVs that promise to undo "personal ownership". Yet, none of them have succeeded.
