EVs were never here to save the world. They were here to save the car industry.
Edit: a lot of those replying to me feel the need to say this is a good thing. The point is, most of this drip feed is for profits. As people, we can adjust to sudden changes in our environment. Fear of this is the killer. The little death that whispers to us this is alright. The world is spiraling drastically. It will take drastic measures to save our civility and ourselves.
That’s not what all the companies making money from saying otherwise are saying
EVs are here to get us off oil. A car free society will take decades and we just aren’t going to go from gas cars straight to no cars, it’s simply not realistic.
Singling out EVs with headlines like these or talking about how EVs are still polluting through tires and what have you even when it’s a fraction of ICE vehicles is being an oil industry mouthpiece.
It’s not realistic to replace every single car with an electric one. It will take an insane amount of resources that we can’t spare. We definitely should only be making electric cars but we need to have a lot less of them.
