[Qwertious]

There's a nugget of truth in anti-EV comments, namely 1) EVs are in many ways a mediocre solution (EVs will increase batteries etc needed), and 2) pursuing EVs carries an opportunity cost (public transport will reduce emissions far more than EVs and be substantially cheaper than cars as well, and a $1000 EV subsidy could instead be a free ebike).

That said, EVs are mostly better than ICEVs - "mostly" because performance-heavy applications like long-haul trucking and tractors still benefit heavily from fossil fuels, and in most other applications EVs are still more expensive than ICEVs.
