Yeah, people here don’t seem to realize that burning fossil fuels is the primary driver(~90% of CO2 emission) of global warming: https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/causes-effects-c...

Still they can’t be inconvenienced the slightest by driving an EV, even though they have a much lower carbon footprint: https://lutpub.lut.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/163938/Kandidaa... (see figure 4)

I reality we could do much better than EV’s, since their production still has a large impact on the environment, and we should instead be focusing on cycling or using public transport, instead of driving everywhere.

I don’t have much hope for this, given what I see here.

Producing cars at the scale we're currently at is what's most troubling. EV's won't save us, we have to reduce individual car ownership and push for alternatives (car sharing and public transport).

I know, but the fact that people can’t even tolerate the inconvenience of an EV gives little hope for public transport, car sharing, bicycles etc.
