    As long as EVs are based on the same crappy battery tech that we have in the phones that we know dies in like 3-4 years in good conditions they won’t help us much.

    Until we can power them with something better like hydrogen for example, we should start cutting emissions elsewhere, like private jets, or heating up/cooling down useless inefficient glass office buldings that people don’t need anyway since they can work from home and save the cost, time and emissions from the commute as well.

    Forcing EVs right now with the crappy batteries will only get us faster to li-ion scarcity. Not to mention the battery fires that can’t be extinguished, reduced capacity in cold climates and slow recharge time.
