The greatest threat to human survival comes from the political and economic clout of petrochemical companies. Buying gasoline powered cars perpetuates that. Using electricity as an energy source for transportation means that wealth is no longer being sent to Saudi Aramco, ExxonMobil, Rosneft, etc. This decreases the ability of those companies to fund anti-global warming propaganda, bribe, encourage/wage war, undermine democracies, and cause humanity's eventual extinction. So yes, I firmly believe that purchasing EVs is not just a heroic act, but one that is unquestionably necessary.
