I'm all for massive expansion of public transport, and I agree EVs should constitute a pretty small part of the ideal transport mix.
However, the vast majority of negative sentiment around EVs you see in the press is not coming from a place of "let's do public transport instead", it's coming from the oil industry wanting people to stay hooked on their product. EVs categorically free consumers significantly from oil companies
That's what my point was really: the messaging is different because of that dynamic, a dealer wanting to keep people hooked versus a dealer wanting to hook new customers
