Public transport takes 3.5 hours for my daily commute each way. Personal vehicle is 45 minutes.

A bike is going to get you killed in numerous parts of the Country. Here the massive pick ups that have never hauled more than a sack of groceries take sharing the road with bicycles as a very personal insult.

Depends upon the old one, (huge difference between 12-18 MPG and an EV), and what is done with the it after doesn't it?

I suspect you swallowed a lot of Corpo propaganda to believe the issue is the common individual's actions.
