Y'all are NOT thinking about the incredible way cars are a fiery pit that you throw money into. You don't just buy the car and then use it, it costs money to use a car every damn second you are using it, not to mention the stupid things depreciate value like crazy.

A bicycle takes a laughable amount of maintenance, honestly there just isn't that much to go wrong, it isn't even remotely close how much more money, headaches and time it takes to maintain a car vs. an ebike.
