Re: EVs = bad for planet, bad for poor people, bad for practicality
Out here in the northern sticks the nearest large supermarkets are 2 bus journeys (different bus companies) and takes more than an hour (6 miles), the only alternative is a couple of small co-ops (essentials only) that the first bus will pass on the way. Waiting at an open bus stop bus in winter weather isn't fun.
15 mins by car gets you 10 miles : any of the major supermarket chains, two retail parks and two town centres with their (rapidly depleting) range of speciality shops and small businesses.
Online deliveries don't help much with quality of life out here if you're without access to personal transport.
