and EV car. also fuck petrol. and gallons while I'm here.
EVs solve about 2 of the 20 problems cars create.
While that's true, they "solve"* the two issues that are most pressing with ICE cars, air polution and fossil fuel use. I'd rather have EVs over ICEs, and I'd rather have walkable cities and robust public transit than either of the car options.
* are better, not perfect
perfect is the enemy of good.
With climate change, we have a multiplication of flooding and heat wave. Cars increase the effect of both of them. EVs or ICEs, it doesn't matter.
EVs are not and will never ever be the answer. It's a myth like many created by the car industry.
no one said they were, calm down.
