Electric cars are here to save the car industry, not the environment.

The most environmentally friendly car is the car you already have, and the most environmentally friendly (also safest, healthiest, quietest, just in general the most considerate) way to get from point A to point B is by walking, biking, bus, or train.

The only time EV saves the environment is when all of the following are met:

  • your old car is completely gone,
  • there is zero way to get to where you need to be without a car,
  • and you have been fighting for good transport and safe bike lane all along.
