    EVs are here to save the car/oil cartels not the planet. The planet can not sustain the level of privilege exhibited by these EV owners. Even if the EV makes a slight improvement, it’s not nearly enough and it’s a symptom of much greater waste and privilege. We need to stop pretending that EVs are some kind of sustainable solution for the planetary crisis.

    Correlation ≠ Causation. This study is ridiculous in premise. I hate cars as much as the next guy but please don’t post garbage

      Correct, it’s caused by being relatively rich.

      Cars are luxuries. Electric cars are more expensive luxuries.

          Yes! Now convince the car fanboys clamoring for electric cars to switch.

        By this logic, if a rich dude makes a public railway system then it’s doesn’t matter that the trains are more environmentally efficient, that person is rich so it invalidates everything else

          Is the railway system for his personal use? Rail is good if it’s public transport (and cargo). There was a tradition, some time ago, of rich people getting their own railways and trains. But now they have jets and yachts.
