Wouldn’t you do it the other way around, where the car you own is for commuting and kids taxi, and you use a car rental or sharing service for the long trips?
We have bought the smallest car that would satisfy all our needs (a small station wagon), and we use it as necessary.
My commute is outrageous BTW, 50+50km, at highway speed and with airco, that might already be a stretch for the Dacia Spring. I do it mostly by train though.
I would have thought that:
“Reducing car use is better than just replacing them. Cars cover a lot of difficult corner cases, but let’s offer good alternatives for the day to day life”
should be a pretty uncontroversial take, and yet I’m here discussing with people that want to use cars everyday, and cover the exceptions with the alternatives.
