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.
Maybe EVs are not a comprehensive climate solution??
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.
