Commentators in the electric vehicle community are arguing that genuine advocacy means giving honest advice rather than pushing everyone into a new EV purchase. The argument is that for some people, an e-bike, an electric moped, or simply driving their gas car less while saving up is the better fit, and that advocates should tailor transport advice to real circumstances.
