On what the article touches, he is not wrong. Buying a new car, even if it's an electric one, will have more impact than a lot of time using a gasoline one, especially if the country doesn't produce electricity in a sustainable way.
Also, if you want to help the environment, you shouldn't be replacing cars, but removing them, public transportation, and walkable cities are so much better in this regard.
Yes, thank you for mentioning the real solution - less cars of any kind. Public transport, cities where you can walk around, and bikes are pretty great too.
I want to see my town ban cars downtown in my lifetime please please please please 😩🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
My town blocked off an entire street!
Nice! My town does this for part of summer and everyone loves it! It would be so great if they kept it that way, and then just kept going 😳
Sadly, electric cars isn't about saving the environment and the planet. Is is about saving the car industry
Except that no, he's not right and if you're going to drive, the sooner you switch the better
