The carbon footprint of building an EV is larger than an ICE, no one is disputing this. But once in operation the EV catches up and through its life is a better alternative over all. So why not take that win? Why be so vehemently against a solution that reduces carbon footprint and air pollution? Because fuck cars right?
Because the real problem is our car centric society and we won't fix that by switching every ICE with a EV and tell the people they have to drive a lot so the advantage of an EV comes to light.
EVs have their place, but we could do so so so much better with all the energy we put in them.
So yeah, 'fuck cars', if that is the level you prefer and understand.
