Today, two-wheeled EVs "are actually displacing four times as much demand for oil as all the world’s electric cars at present"

Also,
"If you commute on an e-bike 20km a day, five days a week, your charging cost would be about $20 – annually. "

The world’s 280 million electric bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars

Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

@CelloMomOnCars An amazing place to see the popularity of e-bikes among folks that you would never have guessed would adopt them is along the Cape Cod Canal. The bike path/service road that runs alongside is filled with folks using them to travel their fishing spots during the summer. Certainly not your typical e-bike demographic but wow are they popular there. They simply work and that is all that matters in the end.

"They simply work"
That's the magic right there.
