EVs in general don't seem like a good option for affordable travel, and being made in China just makes it that much much more worse and dangerous.
It should be illegal to charge those things on electricity not produced by wind turbine or solar panel. If I lived in an area that had electric car charging stations, I would regularly walk through and unplug them all.
I see what you're saying, and I've never lived in a large city so there's likely aspects of that life I'm unaware of. The concept does make more sense in a limited city setting, but it doesn't make as much sense as cheap public transportation. For instance, cable car trams were reliable and relatively cheap from what I've heard.
At least that's my opinion - again never lived in a big city and I could easily be wrong. I'm sure local population demographics and police presence factor into the feasibility of safe public transportation, so it may be less possible than I think.
Public transportation only works with a high trust homogenous population. public transportation in America is fucked because of the demographics we have.
