Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea

It’s not a good idea to power your home with a diesel generator, or people would do that. It’s in fact a very bad idea, especially as compared to the cost and fuel efficiency that the grid manages. Likewise, it’s not a good idea to power your car with a tiny, mobile fossil fuel power plant, for all the same reasons.
OP said car, not ICE car. OP is talking about mass transit vs private vehicle, and is using grid electricity vs personal generator as an example. Unfortunately it’s not as an equivalent as OP think it is.
