People love this "gotcha", but really it just shows how terrible cars are on a fundamental level.
The solution isn't electric cars, it's electric micromobility and public transport.
It's always "ah ha but did you know it's only 80% better for the planet? Gotcha, idiot!" Like yeah, we know.
The best solution is not to drive at all, but if we're forced to in this backwards country that has been mislead to believe public transport is a bad thing then we might as well take the option that's 80% better rather than 0% better
