I'm 100% remote and just use my cargo ebike. I just gave my daughter my car because I don't have any particular use for it.
Because I am 100% remote I moved away from my office.
Why would anyone pay $2800 to live in a 2 bedroom in the city when they can pay $1600, or less, to live in nature with no upstairs neighbors, no downstairs neighbors, just ✌️.
I'm free to work 100% remote but I travel to our local site 2 days a week just to be seen and support if needed. I hardly use my car at all these days. I can cycle or walk to the office.
I use my ebike to drop my son at school, get up to the office, then back to school and wfh in the afternoon.
Ebikes really are the future of travel. I can't achieve all of the above on my normal mountain bike in a sensible time frame and with luggage.
