Right, just like I don't need to own a pickup truck, that doesn't mean that I don't haul stuff in a pickup truck, I just don't own one because I don't need to use one often enough to justify owning it, if my electric car wasn't 31 years old with collector plates on it that prevent me from driving it in the winter it would most likely be my only personal vehicle.
Two of my neighbors don't own their own cars at all so they bike a lot, that doesn't mean that they never drive, but what it does mean is that when they do drive they borrow the correct vehicle to fit their needs for that day.
