minus-squarePersnickityPenguin@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·edit-21 year agoI have both am ev and an ebike, and a 7 mile commute. Driving takes between 20 minutes and an hour and a half. Biking takes 45 minutes no matter what. Car uses about 25x more energy though and parking is around $20/day. I should add my son much prefers the bike.
