Why... EVs are literally green washing while also being more dangerous because of the added weight. Can't we wait for a better alternative? I think hydrogen cars are already a better looking option, they fill up quickly and they don't require a brunch of rare minerals mined by exploited children. Unless they consider hydrogen as EVs which they are...
And even there, replacing ICE cars with EV cars will not change a thing in the long run. we need to ban cars altogether to solve the real environmental problems
If you can point me to a single hydrogen-charging station in my area, I would be impressed. As infrequent and underdeveloped as EV chargers are (assuming you aren't able to get a charger installed in your house), I haven't heard of a single hydrogen charger anywhere in the GTHA. Hell, I haven't even heard of a single hydrogen car on market that people are pursuing in any noticeable numbers. Li-battery cars at least have some modicum of infrastructure now where, in certain urban settings, it is entirely possible to drive an EV around, and I know they exist.
And there's no putting that genie back in the bottle. Reduce the number of cars, sure, I would love to see that happen, but outright banning them? It'll never happen.
