Hardly surprising given that ICE cars are cheaper due to the comparatively high supply of them, and the subsidization of ICE cars. Even I, as leftist as I am will readily agree that EVs are terrible. They’re better than ICE because they don’t contribute as much emissions, lower emissions is better than high emissions. But at the end of the day they’re cars (inefficient, polluting transportation) when we have better options than both ICE and EVs (rail, biking, walking, busses).
I live in a major city. My place of work is about a 10 minute drive by car. By public transportation the only option is an hour long, two bus trip. In a major city, this shouldn’t be the case. I should be able to hop on a train and get to work in a comparatively similar time. Until that changes, we are stuck with EVs (bad) and ICEs (worse).
