   **Electric cars are not the future**
   *In cities at least, e-bikes make more cultural and consumer sense*

   >Will they take up electric cars — in effect, just a cleaner version of what they already had — or switch modes of transport altogether? My bet is that, in cities at least, the e-car won’t be the vehicle of the future. I suspect it will keep falling further behind e-bikes, e-mopeds and e-scooters.

   >EVs also emit more carbon over their life cycle than any form of urban transport except petrol cars.

   I can only hope so, to have any chance, we need to move away from private cars, no matter the engine.
