"Electric vehicle incentives"

Only cars.

E-bike/micromobility incentives would go WAY farther than anything for cars. The $5000 incentive for one car could outright buy 2-3 ebikes what would have a bigger impact. Alternatively, $500 per e-bike would be ~25% the cost and be able to subsidize 10 times the number of vehicles.

But bike lanes cause traffic congestion, do you really want to slow down all these drivers just so you can leisurely ride a bike?!??!? /s

Yes. I very much enjoy leisurely riding my bike to work instead of turning into an absolute cunt the second I touch a steering wheel.
