~~It is a couple tons of armored sofa that takes more space than it needs to, crushes the road, kills deer and human alike.~~

~~Sounds like a car to me.~~

PEV here apparently refers to "Personal Electric Vehicle", which includes e-scooters, e-bikes, etc. They are indeed not cars. DDG somehow tells me they mean "Plugin Electric Vehicle", which are cars.

PEV = personal electric vehicle, like an e-bike, scooter, or unicycle. All the benefits of bike infrastructure while letting you go a lot farther and faster without getting sweaty

Noted. ddg gives me "plug-in electric vehicle" when I search PEV. So I misunderstood. E-bike indeed is not a car.

Hmm, you’re right, looks like it’s commonly used for both. That’s a bit confusing

Anyways, thanks for letting me know!
