  Cool so the school run or getting groceries or anything even remotely close to wanting to get to work without being a sweaty dirty stinking mess or freezing to death the whole time or getting soaked or getting railroaded by a car because there's no bike paths hardly anywhere, not that would matter because cars don't see bikes at all anyways, besides all that it would be perfect. Yeah. Totally.
context: Govt needs to push for much cheaper electric cars. 55k and 80k thresholds for credit are insane. How about 25-30k so ordinary people can afford one without going into debt for 10 years. >

  The idiocy of this system is shocking. We should be applying tax credits for electric bicycles. You could get roughly 7x as many commuters on electric bikes (without them paying a dime) for the same tax credit applied to an SUV. 8k lb EVs are not the answer
