I’ve seen a lot of posts here on Lemmy, specifically in the “fuck cars” communities as to how Electric Vehicles do pretty much nothing for the Climate, but I continue to see Climate activists everywhere try pushing so, so hard for Electric Vehicles.
Are they actually beneficial to the planet other than limiting exhaust, or is that it? or maybe exhaust is a way bigger problem?
Dragging 3 tons of disposable plastic, glass and Lithium with you everywhere–is it really necessary?
Also, one of the biggest pollutants associated with cars is dust and micro plastics from tires. EVs don’t get rid of that.
