If you already have a car with a combustion engine and it runs fine, you shouldn't just buy an EV because "it's better for the environment". If you're doing that, it's actually worse for the environment.

I'm fine with only being able to buy EVs in 10 or 20 years, once batteries are better and the vehicles are actually affordable. Until then, we need better and more hybrids.
