Odd question to ask, perhaps, on this sub. But I recently had a conversation with someone who is blindly anti-EV and he kept rambling on about a “silent majority” of EV owners who “don’t care at all” about the environment. I personally don’t think that’s true, but I may be (sadly) wrong.
(We are both car enthusiasts, but he leans right, I lean left (and am concerned climate change). In case people are curious)
Engineer here
No
It’s not
If environmentalism and “converting the masses” is remotely a concern we need people to be aware of this fact, not keeping the wool over their eyes that car manufacturers put there because marginal gains won’t be enough
Let me know when you engineer a more environmentally friendly way of getting a family and gear up a mountain every weekend and if its more green then I will adopt. Until then this is better than replacing my near dead ice with a gas guzzling ice. Call it what you want but this is the best solution out right now so to me this is the green choice
