A pair of psychologists and an economist at the University of Turku, in Finland, have found that because the average electric vehicle (EV) owner is wealthier than the average person, they still have a bigger than average carbon footprint.

    Wealthier people tend to have bigger carbon footprints because they have bigger homes, travel more, can afford more goods, etc.
