better yet, lets rebuild any factories to produce parts and vehicles for a nationalised electric vehicle company, to produce entry level electric vehicles so people can actually afford these fucking things.

Affordable EVs already exist.

They're called e-bikes and they cost less to purchase than car insurance for a year.

That's all well and good if you only have to transport yourself, and only have to go a few kilometres. Being a smug prick because you don't have any place to be or anyone else to bring with you does absolutely nothing to promote your cause to others.

Not OP - their smugness didn't help and you can use whatever means of transport you prefer. But to be fair, I do know people who have kids and use a cargo bike to do everything. This is a viable option for many city-dwellers. Sadly, we are still very car dependant in Canada for longer trips since rail between cities has been underinvested in and suburban sprawl is out of control.
