I'm a young person in exactly the same boat. The screens are straight up dangerous and would for sure land my ADHD Gen Z ass in the hospital. Also the only reason I ever drive are road trips to get out to national parks and the like, so yeah, not really a practical application for EVs. At home I use public transit for commute, groceries, etc.

Honestly if you don’t use a car day to day or are fortunate enough to live in a place where public transit isn’t borderline unusable like most of California you can probably get away with renting a car when you need one. Cars are expensive and worth not spending money on unless you actually need one.
Also once you have a car you will start making decisions that cement your requirement to own one. Car ownership is a slippery slope.
