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.
Electric cars are cool and all but you can’t have walkable cities and simultaneously store one vehicle per person on their streets
As with a lot of my responses here, you’re only responding within the context of cities, and even more narrowly you’re referring to downtown/commercial/recreational areas that need to be walkable.
You’re right to say we should have more walkable cities, however it’s not a valid argument against electrifying vehicles.

70% of eu residents live in ”urban clusters”. So I am ”only responding” for 70% of people, a number that will probably rise over time too.

Not only downtown/commercial/recreational areas need to be walkable. Walkability is good in all areas if possible. It makes everything simpler for everybody.

I am not arguing against the elcrification of cars, I am arguing for decreasing the number of cars over time simultaneously with elecrification.
