You’re kinda skipping over a few things as well as something the previous comment mentioned.
Weather. I live in a pretty big metro area that has freezing cold winters and sweltering hot summers (with high humidity).
Cargo space is definitely something to think about. There are a lot of families that have to drive to a store for a family’s amount of food for the week
Long distances to get to anything in the suburbs amplifies issues 1 and 2 (including usually no pubic transportation to help)
The previous commenter mentioned they don’t want a giant SUV and just want an affordable electric car.
All these things are a reason cars are a huge necessity in most of the US. Yes, getting to an area where we can all mostly use 2 wheels would be great, but we should recognize that doing better is a great step forward instead of shooting it down because it’s not perfect.
I say all this as a person who works from home so I don’t have to worry about a commute, has a small car for necessary trips, and does my best avoid unnecessary driving and makes sure to carpool at every opportunity.
