I get that switching to an EV is better than a fossil fueled powered car, but shouldn’t we be focusing more on public transportation, and generally not needing a car?

I agree however it will take some time to shift from car infrastructure to multimodal design, as there is a balance that’s needs to be met for North America.

Public transit, Active transport and 3-4 storey apartments should be prioritized over electric cars.

Yes, literally the ONLY solution that will impact climate change. But people prefer paying for indulgences so they can continue to sin.

That’s literally not the ONLY solution that will impact climate change, because electric cars are already measurably reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

As for “indulgences” and “sin”: Yikes. Now is not the time for medieval thinking. In 2024, nobody is paying for indulgences. Because the people who buy EVs don’t think driving is a sin, and the people who think driving is a sin don’t buy EVs.

Ah, I see you think we can buy our way out of the oncoming disaster. Good luck with that.

FYI, I’m an EV driver, you don’t need to tell me anything about ev drivers.
