I agree. I'm more interested in remote work as a factor that can trigger lower emissions than this.. even if I include continual suburbanization as disturbing argument. More people need to travel less and more local shopping plus better logistics to deliver goods and services locally may both trigger accelerated adoption of EVs for just local, super short distance commuting and less need for commuting you can't do by bike anyway.

My grand parents when they were young they were all commuting by bikes more than cars.. I think I'll be a grand father to kids who while adults become more stick to bikes and scooters than cars too..
