people are using them for trips that would be "car first" at any given time

When my personal EV has been broken or I've not come from home or something, I used to used them to go to some large shops relatively nearby, but now I have a direct bus connection, which is faster and more pleasant in the winter.

This is positive, and that's with an enormous amount of push-back, lacklustre infrastructure, and the growing-pains that come from such a new and highly regulated form of transportation.

Very true. They're definitely here to stay. I'm just waiting on the day that they'll progress to cars, with hopefully reasonable pricing. (Fucking capitalism ruining everything in the long run.) Some small electric cars, I'd just like to be able to lug a bit of stuff and perhaps have protection from the weather. Be able to drive to places a bit further away that buses don't go to.

Although they would need breathalyser locks I think, but that's not a massive added cost compared to the car.
