EVs are the biggest load of green wash ever and on par with 'clean coal'. They still use roads and carparks which are environmental waste lands, they also need power to run and their manufacturing and distribution process is definitely not environmentally friendly.

Not to mention that their CEO actively campaigned against public transport in a bid to sell more cars...

....as opposed to what? A horse and cart? We're not all biking, running or taking a train to work. The fuck?!

If you're forced to use a car to get to and from work in the inner city, you can blame your government and lobbyists. If you're rural, it makes sense to use private transport, though I highly doubt it'll be a Tesla.

Why would you highly doubt that?
