That we shouldn't have to drive EVERYWHERE.

We need electric cars much less than we need communities designed around walking, biking, mass transit and growing our own food.

Motor transportation requires a lot of energy and in a lot of instances completely unnecessary.

How many people drive 30 miles round trip to a job where they just sit in front of a computer all day? There's a better way of managing our energy.
