    You ask for alternatives and then provide then? Then you say that when there are no better options then EV’s are the best option which doesn’t put them in a great light at all.

    I think mining the rare metals needed to manufacture lithium batteries to create luxury SUVs and Sedans that’ll transport one person at a time is a gross waste of the earth’s resources and it’s bullshit to call that sustainable.

      For 1% of people you’re right, they’ll have the desire and fortitude to compromise their lifestyle for not owning their own vehicle.

      For the other 99%, moving them away from buying an ice car to an EV car has to be considered an improvement.

      I gave up my car for an electric moped, I don’t regret it but do suffer in the winter. I’d likely say most people would consider me someone who “needs” a car but I’m making do

          Hah, fair point. Just my opinion, a high percentage of people in this world will not inconvenience themselves by transitioning to a less than ideal transport solution for the the good of the planet.

          Hope that’s more suitably vague

          That doesn’t really matter, since 8 out of 5 people suffer from dyscalculia.
