    When you buy an EV, it does not replace the gas combustion engine. The old car is shipped to Africa where it lives on for several decades more. The avg age of a car bought in Africa is 21 years old. So the EV just adds an additional harmful planet parasite.

    They also reduce noise pollution

    The noise pollution is exported to Africa.

    And reduce the propping of petrostates

    Petrostates get propped up by consumers wherever your car ends up.

    They also help normalise the usage of renewable energy (this is a factor that shouldn’t be overlooked, imo)

    I don’t see how EVs are needed for that. If everyone hypothetically switched to bicycles, renewable energy would still be the goal.
