    Eh. ICE cars < Electric cars < Good public transit and bike infra / walkable cities. I don’t see them as mutually exclusive, but swapping ICE cars for EVs alone won’t get us where we need to be.

      True, but good public transit is only really feasible at suburban population densities or higher.

      High speed rail would work for linking rural communities together, but half of the people in those areas don’t live within walking/biking distance of town (especially when needing to transport goods) so the adoption of EVs should still be encouraged.
