Shouldn't that be 1% of emissions in the world? Btw, still more practical to address other stuff. Not that EV are a bad idea, but you can't force such change: the EU plans failed, because people don't have often a viable setup to switch to EV, so it should be made more incremental and together with other infrastructural changes.
- menaerus 2y agoYeah, c/p mistake, thanks for noticing. ~1% it is. > Not that EV are a bad idea From an engineering point of view, if we were to solve the pollution problem, and if the numbers above are not terribly wrong, then the EVs are not an answer. There is a huge (operating) cost attached to rebuilding the whole industry with apparently a very small impact. And I'd say with a reasonably large negative impact since we see many automotive manufacturers folding under the EV pressure. > because people don't have often a viable setup to switch to EV I agree and I would also add that not that many people can afford buying a new car for ~40k EUR. For many people this is inaccessible.
