EVs in general are not the best for the environment. Would rather have precious resources powering our grid rather than powering wasteful cars that pollute in other ways beyond “tail pipe emissions” (ie, tire wear particles, brake dust, “e-waste” when car becomes obsolete by manufacturer, further dependency on car centric transportation which displaces where people live with car storage)
- jandrese 3y agoRebuilding our cities and societies around alternative transport is a much bigger ask than replacing polluting cars with much less polluting cars. Also, that level of change is close to impossible due to the level of pushback it would receive from all corners of society. It's certainly something to work towards, but you can't let it block you from taking the short term and more practical wins.
