    No it’s capitalism and the car industry that wants to continue selling cars that are pushing for EVs.

    Cars in general are bad for the environment and the people around them. EVs are a bit better than internal combustion, but it’s not a miracle.

    EVs still emit tons of rubber particles because of tire shedding, they are heavier and require more energy to move around, they still require vast amounts of paved parking and roads, and they can still crush pedestrians and animals.

    If you have to have a car, it should be an EV if possible, but it would be better to reduce the amount of cars in cities and around us.
