That is debatable, for sure. But I do think that EVs will ultimately help in the fight against climate change. Tesla did a lot to popularize the surge of EVs we see today.
- kkoste 3y agoI fail to see how selling ones petrol car to buy an EV is going to help. You'd have to do an awful lot of driving to compensate for the initial carbon footprint of buying a new vehicle. Probably will happen after 5 or so years and hopefully by then the car doesn't have to be replaced. EVs er definitely NOT a silver bullet for climate change. The absolute best investment we can make is one where we are less dependent on cars. Invest in public transportation and ban city traffic from urban areas.
- jasfi 3y agoThat's something that can only be viable if millions+ people make the change, over the long term. Public transportation is better, but not always practical for everyone. It's certainly something governments should be investing in.
