That’s the problem, very few really do. Govts key priority is maximising consumerism and resulting tax revenues in the current electoral period, they really don’t GAF about the environment. 20 years ago we were told to swap to diesels. A few years ago it was back to petrol, now EV’s are flavour of the month just as they desperately need people to spend spend spend. How long before EV’s are the Devil’s spawn? If someone can show me the total environmental footprint and damage of keeping my current petrol and diesel vehicles for 10 years versus 2 new leased EV’s every 3 years, I’d love to understand it. I suspect the key winners will be govts, car manufacturers and banks, not the environment. To help the environment, people need to consume less of everything, manufactured goods and travel included.
Well said!
