In the US there are more cars per capita than in European countries except for a couple of micro states, and many people don't have cars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_vehicles_per_capita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_vehicles_... (tdlr: US ~800, Central european countries ~500, some big countries much less eg Ukraine ~250) Also, EVs still have such big CO2 footprints that they don't really solve the problem, to make a dent we'll need to curtil the growth of cars globally - considering the developing countries catching up and getting more cars there, this means radical changes. The emissions from EVs also pile on top of the emissions from burning all the oil we pump up, so in a way they're increasing emissions if we consider the oil supply to be limited.
