    Two failures do not make a right.

    The point above stands. EVs do little for the environment. Compared to sensible options like transit and biking and walking they are marginally better, but hm hardly at all.

      They reduce emissions in a neighborhood, in driveways and such, and they reduce sound pollution, which is great for local creatures.

      They shift power generation to more efficient platforms, rather than messy, poorly maintained gas engines.

      Battery production and recycling is a major issue.

      For those who cannot walk or bike, an affordable ev is a great choice
