I don’t feel like you can rank all of these on the same level, they aim to solve different problems in different contexts.

I’m not going to walk across the country, I’m going to take a train if possible, or a plane if the trains don’t exist or I’m on a really tight schedule. But I won’t take a train, a plane, or even a bus to go a couple blocks to the corner store, I’ll walk. If it’s storming, however, I might take the bus or a tram despite the short distance and the wait for it to show up.

If I’m going eight blocks to a doctor’s appointment and it’s nice out, I might bike, unless it’s raining literal cats and dogs, because then I’ll absolutely leave super extra early and walk so I can pet each and every one of them on the way (and still be late, because priorities).

If I’m going to visit a nearby city, I might take a train or a bus, but if I’m moving to a nearby city, I’m going to rent a moving truck and drive. It’s all contextual.

Conclusion: To increase the adoption rate of EVs, we must make the vast majority of people wealthy.

Incorrect, but also totally fine by me. 😄

Except in very rare configurations (i.e. not 99.9% of residential), you do not want to have multiple paths to ground within a system. All grounds should go to the tied ground/neutral bus in the main breaker panel, which then goes to earth via a ground rod or a clamp to a copper gas/water line, etc. Otherwise you can have current flowing in ways that the system isn’t designed for, which at the least can trip breakers and GFCIs, and at worst exceed the rating of the wires in a short condition and cause a fire.
