Smaller EVs like scooters are also more convenient than cars to get around in a big city. And take less parking space.

Big cities in which a large (and increasing) % of the world's population lives.

But obviously the local climate is a factor. Few people would enjoy pushing through the snow on a 2-wheeler. In mild climates, very different story.

Anyway, good to see this making a dent in global oil demand. Iirc China already passed its peak oil due to the rising popularity of EVs there. But still:

"Global oil demand is now projected to peak in 2028 at 105.7 million barrels per day – and then begin to fall, according to the International Energy Agency."

Per DAY. Mind-boggling...
