Maybe EVs are not a comprehensive climate solution??
Correlation ≠ Causation. This study is ridiculous in premise. I hate cars as much as the next guy but please don’t post garbage
Yeah this reads like an article built to make people who don’t choose evs to feel justified. What are the real motives of this “study”.
I personally own an EV, and also got rid of my gas furnace, and gas water heater, and everything gas. So, wonder who they studied and how

They probably studied every other person who owns an EV.
Sounds like some lazy thinking.
Their bigger carbon footprint isn’t caused by the EV though.
No, it is not. But, while electric vehicles have lower carbon footprint than gasoline powered cars, they have far higher carbon footprint than public transport.
A lot of North America has zero public transit and is very spread out.
Absolutely. Improvements has been made, but there is a very long way to go.
EVs are here to save the car/oil cartels not the planet. The planet can not sustain the level of privilege exhibited by these EV owners. Even if the EV makes a slight improvement, it’s not nearly enough and it’s a symptom of much greater waste and privilege. We need to stop pretending that EVs are some kind of sustainable solution for the planetary crisis.
