      I’m commenting on your first sentence, not the bullet points.

      Electric cars are better for the environment, no doubt about that, even if the electricity is produced by fossil fuel, because the production is done in a controlled environment instead of happening in thousands of cars, which can only utilise a fraction of the energy and outputs the exhaustion directly in the air.

      I’m not saying EVs solve the car dependency problems at all, but they are better for the environment than combustion engine cars.

          No, obviously not. I’ve never heard anyone seriously claim that electric cars alone could save the environment.

          Transport as a whole only accounts for something like 20% of carbon emissions and only 40% of that is from cars, making it 8% total.

      Not to mention that the only reason electric cars seem somewhat sustainable, is that at the moment only the most wealthy people (globally) can afford to own a car. Just imagine what it would look like if the global middle class also got access to cars, electric or otherwise.

            The points against cars have already been made

              A point was made above. You respond to the point. Not that you think the name on a link is full of boogeymen.
