Transport makes up a quarter of emissions and electricity 40%. Smaller, but not very much smaller. The three biggest emitters are electricity, transport and heating in that order, and that is the order that we're attacking them in.
40% of new electricity generation capacity worldwide in 2022 was renewable.[1]
Mess with peoples transportation options and they notice in a big way.
Whereas nobody cares where their electricity to the grid comes from, provided it does.
EVs are an excellent option for exactly this reason: what we need is to mess with transportation minimally, ideally with benefits (i.e. quieter, cheaper fuel, maybe self-drive) but ultimately get the usage of energy for transportation disconnected from any specific fuel source.
