I think electric cars address climate change Once we stop using coal and gas powerplants

Cause then all we are doing is shifting it

Ah yes, that "lets do nothing and say we're saving the climate" take straight out of bill gates' think tank. Stop watching kurzgesagt.

Oh look, another anti-car meme from someone who clearly doesn't understand cars. Keep it up, Lemmy. One day your relentless negativity will achieve something, and I'll laugh all the way to my grave because it'll be the exact opposite of what y'all wanted.

Electric cars are indeed much worse for the climate at production time than combustion cars likely will be throughout their entire lifetime.

But this matters little, as the electric car is not made to be the perfect alternative, it is instead made to be the "weird in between solution" that we need to bring as many devices as possible to use a common power source and get people acquainted with the concept, before moving to the actual solution.

The next steps will be better battery technology because, let's face it, lithium gel batteries suck, and proper power sources.

In the end, I guess it's kind of a "chicken and egg" situation.

I’d argue trains are the solution for most city applications.

Rural areas can keep ICE’s if cities of tens of millions dispense themselves of cars.
