    It helps that ebikes aren’t a 100% replacement dependent on infrastructure that doesn’t currently exist. If the US had a standardized battery format for its electric cars (lol), they were easily replaceable at a station (lol x2), and they could be stored with minimal risk of fire, then electric cars would be more viable here. But that’s going to take years, probably at least a decade.
