The economic realities of electric car?

[Aurelio]

I don't think having cars is sustainable in the long run. I mean, usually it means to move like 1 ton of matter, mostly filled with air, to transport one person
from A to B.

I wonder why public transport is so unbelievably bad in the US. In European cities, it is easily possible to live without a car. But in most American cities, there are no trains and buses just suck.
