    Electric bicycles can charge just fine from a normal 15A outlet.

    Remember that the real problem is the car-dependency itself, folks, and the real solution is fixing the zoning code so that origins and destinations can be built closer together without vast wastelands of parking lots between. And I’m not even just talking about the problem of climate change, either: the housing crisis, obesity, microplastics (which it turns out the majority of which come from car tires), and a ton of other problems all have car-dependent zoning as their root cause!

        It’s true that zoning is just one piece, but I think that a lot of folks don’t fully grasp just how large and important of a piece it is. In fact, few of the other pieces – better transit, separated bike infrastructure, etc. – are viable without sane zoning being implemented first.
