Electric vehicles are 👍 if the energy used to charge the 🔋 is from renewable sources. If most of the energy used for charging is from fossil fuels, wide adoption of electric vehicles doesn’t aid much in resolving climate change.
A long time ago Veritasium said that vehicle making had a big environmental impact, so it was eco-friendly to use your old vehicle as long as possible. I did a quick search and didn’t find any relevant info. I asked Bing copilot and didn’t get a definite answer. But the joy that a new electric vehicle brings is sure. I may lean on buying a new 1.
