This was something I was thinking about recently with the explosion in e-bike and e-scooters. While I'm generally for the idea of less cars on the road, do these electric vehicles have planned obsolescence built into them like a smartphone would? Anything new and trending in technology tends not to have a long shelf life, it's not profitable.
From what I understand, current studies don't show e-scooters replacing car journeys, mostly bike, walking and public transport ones. Can read more about it in the escooters thread on here somewhere.
