Odd question to ask, perhaps, on this sub. But I recently had a conversation with someone who is blindly anti-EV and he kept rambling on about a “silent majority” of EV owners who “don’t care at all” about the environment. I personally don’t think that’s true, but I may be (sadly) wrong.
(We are both car enthusiasts, but he leans right, I lean left (and am concerned climate change). In case people are curious)
Whether or not someone uses environmental concerns in buying their first EV really doesn’t matter.
However, I would suspect that having an EV causes many non environmental buyers to continue to optimize the efficiency and total ownership benefits of owning an EV , which as a result leads to a better environment.
And isn’t that really the point of life in general?
