Yes many do. Some are written off in their first year.

The main point is if we all miraculously switched to EVs, there are savings in emissions to be had, but it wont fix the problem.

Nothing "fixes the problem". That is a non-argument. But electric cars are a huge step in the right direction and important in enabling the transition to renewables. Be it only by being a storage by nature.

This is the whole problem. Its only a small step forward but people think it'll make a huge difference. Ideally people would move to a small urban apartment and walk or take public transport. EVs let people continue to drive and think they're OK.
