Don’t worry if you can’t get in the electric car (EV) club right away. The important thing for the economy environment is that you are planning to buy another car, but electric!
Or just ditch the working car for an electric one. Nobody gives a fuck if it’s ecological or not. They just want to continue using a car and ignore all the other problems like microplastics from tire shedding, heat islands, or using a two tons metal box to move 1.5 person everywhere.
Electric cars only exist so the car industry can continue to sell cars. So don’t worry and consume. Greenwash your conscience.
Although usually I am all for adressing your own impact as well and not only blaming big corporations (they are mostly at fault, but they won’t change a thing as long as they can still blame consumers), I think it is important to aknowledge here how dependent individuals can be on cars. No one can single-handedly revolutionize the public transport and some areas, especially in more rural regions, really need forms of individual transport at present. EVs are not solving the big issues, but in regards to carbon impact you can compensate for their production quite quickly with the CO2 you save in comparison to an ICE car (depending on your local energy mix of course). Burning fuel will never be carbon neutral, using electric energy for transportation can be eventually. Don’t disregard all the solutions which are not perfect but try for gradual improvement.
I’m not disregarding electric cars. However they are not presented as an imperfect solution but rather like what everyone that has a car needs to do. Just swap for an electric car and don’t change anything else!
Don’t change habits. Dont talk aboout the other problems created by cars. Let’s forget about the millions of animals and humans killed by cars. Worldwide, there is one human killed every 30 seconds by a car. Electric or not.
But people just want to continue their current lifestyle. They will buy anything they are told will do that. Anything as long as they can all continue just as they are doing right now, but green!
IF you have to have a car, of course, the electric one will be better for the environment. But they are hyped and presented as a simple easy solution for everyone. They’re like Stanley cups. Everyone wants one, or two. They are objects of consumption.
Buying a car is not good for the environment in any way, shape or form, yet people are eager to do so.
Humanity is not running to ruins. It’s taking a car.
I get what you’re saying, but unfortunately, I live in America. Here, a car is a requirement. You might be able to get away without one in a larger (blue) city like NYC or SF, but for most (including myself) it’s nothing but pain or wholly impractical or both.
Even if every US politician woke up tomorrow and said “ya know what, fuck cars” we’d still be looking at years of infrastructure rollout and you’d still need a car in the interim
