Odd question to ask, perhaps, on this sub. But I recently had a conversation with someone who is blindly anti-EV and he kept rambling on about a “silent majority” of EV owners who “don’t care at all” about the environment. I personally don’t think that’s true, but I may be (sadly) wrong.
(We are both car enthusiasts, but he leans right, I lean left (and am concerned climate change). In case people are curious)
Meh. They’re not that much better for the global climate, not at all. We advanced the tech of just the car and kept literally every single other piece of the puzzle the same. Same shitty lithium and cobalt mining, same recycling habits, same power grid. We’ll get there, the question is when, I guarantee it won’t be soon enough.
