How do ordinary people make the switch to electric vehicles ?

Don't think it needs explaining

Well, I, for one, do need it explaining.

If you are a worker then you follow the orders of the boss and rush about to get this and get that and visit the Client at the far end of the country and return in the day and then dart off in the opposite direction to see another Client the next day etc., etc.

If you are the top boss, you get the minions to travel to you when you decide to grace them with your presence...

Top boss is richer than workers, but can get the drudgery like travel done by others.

The more money you have the more you travel. If you have no money you don't travel. I don't fly to Australia because I can't afford to fly to Australia. Don't know how I can explain it any simplier

Repeating the same mantra (without an explanation, which @Grumpy_chap has tried to do) doesn't make your position any more valid. 🙄

Want anyone to agree with you? Explain your position. (And saying "If you have no money you don't travel" is not a reasonable argument, as that does not validate your statement of "The more money you have the more you travel". It is eminently more probable for someone paid £20k to travel more than someone paid £200k).

If you're meaning private (non-work-related) travel then you need to state that.

Edit: you edited your post whilst I was replying - your edit doesn't add anything.

You can fly to other places at a much higher price than going to Australia.  Air fares aren't based on distance travelled but on many other variables including flexibility of ticket and popularity of route.

How is it more probably that the majority of people paid 20k travel more than people paid 200k??? Work or leisure travel makes no difference. It's all travel

Yet my explanation rationalises the opposite mantra to that being peddled.

Thanks for informing me that there is a lot more places I can't afford to travel to 😀 the richer you are the more you can (and do) travel

How do you define "travel"?  What is included / excluded?

Oftentimes, those with more money (income) are very time-poor and that restricts their ability to travel.

Travel = moving from a to b

My point is that the more money you have the greater distance you travel
