The problem is ppl forget that manufacturing of EVS adds to the climate crisis too. REDUCE and REUSE. Ideally we should be reducing the use of personal cars and focus on public transport. That an reusing older model cars (even ICE's) that are more fuel efficient

    I agree that we should pour more energy and resources into expanding public transportation. But I think it's very important to make personal transportation more efficient as well, especially if we want conservatives onboard. And we do need everyone onboard on this.
