Cargo e-bikes generally have a battery capacity limit of around 25 miles (which batteries aren’t meant to be fully drained every time they’re used anyway).
Any suggestions that don’t include the use of cars in a carpool or moving?
Is “Fuck Cars” a pro-city/anti-rural philosophy?
I mean, I hate cars yet I probably use either a family member’s or a friend’s car every now and then, or will take taxis. It’s not about, do anything possible to not use a car (although if you can, better, I guess) but it’s about changing the way we as a society rely on cars. In fact, I believe even in a society where trains are predominant there are still scenarios where certain people will need electrical automobiles, mostly in rural areas for people who need to move a lot around specific hard terrains. Your case, though, could be easily solved with trains.
while I agree with a lot of your post (certainly more informative than the others), I disagree that the issue could be easily solved. There is a lack of political will (at best) and an outright hostility (at worst) to the very idea of trains and public transportation.
While a country connected by train sounds unrealistic and futuristic for most Americans the exact opposite is the case. The US ran on trains for the most part of its history. Almost every town built before 1940 had a train station at some point in time.
