It's a diversion tactic. The vast majority of greenhouse emissions come from large companies.
They want us to argue about irrelevancies amongst ourselves to distract from that fact.
Are EVs a net positive for the environment? Maybe. But that's like asking an atomic bomb survivor what they were wearing that day.
