    EVs only minimizes the CO2 consumption, since actual car production (especially batteries) creates stitton of CO2. So while it’s better, incentivizing something that still contributes to the problem is not a real solution.

      Perfect is the enemy of progress. Since there are no silver bullets, I would go for a solution that helps instead of being passive. But that’s me. :)

        More trains and mass transit is the solution. Cars also produce tire dust which is the lead source of microplastic pollution. Electric vehicles are not a solution.

        If we are just talking about personal or theoretical goals, then sure. But if we want to subsidize the whole market with taxpayer money, then I have to disagree.
