    What percentage of people live in apartments?

    Surely those people should be taking public transport anyway not buying a car when they live downtown.

      You realize not all apartments are located in big cities? Plenty of people live in small towns with no or shitty public transportation.

      The better question here is what percentage of likely EV buyers live in apartments. People that would be a potential customer if it weren’t for living in an apartment.

        Depends what the point is. If we want to sell EVs for some goal of selling EVs that fine I guess. But it still goes back to the point of you start with the easiest 80% first.

        But if we want to improve everyone’s life on this planet and the planet itself. Trying to convince people who shouldn’t own a car to buy an EV is very poor planning. It just so short sighted and consumerist for the sake of consumerism.
