      … which has nothing to do with an automaker’s decision. If you want climate policy, go talk to the politicians. Businesses will supply the market if it exists, their only ideological position is money.

        You’re being downvoted but you’re right. EVs have a smaller carbon footprint than ICE, but comprehensive public transportation is the only way to meaningfully reduce transportation-related emissions.

        Living in the US (or similarly car-dependent countries) will force Americans to have cars, however, and in that world EVs are marginally better than the alternative. Still not nearly enough.
