The big problem is that many people are buying into "electric cars are environmentally friendly" instead of "they're not quite as bad as ICE cars"

Buy an EV only if your current car is shitting the bed. We cannot fight climate change through consumption. Lithium mining is awful for the environment and the individualization of transport is making it worse. EVs are absolutely an improvement but they are only a solution for the auto industry

Eh. ICE cars < Electric cars < Good public transit and bike infra / walkable cities. I don't see them as mutually exclusive, but swapping ICE cars for EVs alone won't get us where we need to be.

its not the cars that are bad, its the way you are forced to do stupid earth destroying work for billionares to have higher numbers on their account. if you limit driving to what you would need without the rich ripping you off, how much would you need to drive then? would you have the time to use slower public transport?
