Ok, so i was living in the countryside (in europe, so smaller farms and more density than the US), and managed to go without car for a bit more than year. I took the bus or biked to a small train station (45 minute bike ride) when i wanted to go visit friends living in "big cities" or to the beach, and went to the farm cooperative store to buy food (5 to 10 minutes by bike, 30 minutes by foot).

If i get a full remote gig next year, i think i will go back there and invest in a kayak, i know there is no dam between that place and the village's country store.

So yes, EV aren't the only answer. I don't think i need to ever buy a car.
