People mistakenly think EVs are a major "solution" to reducing CO2 emissions. Until energy can be produced more cheaply than fossil fuels, there is no solution. The world will consume the cheapest energy.
The only solution to reduce CO2 globally is to find a cheaper alternative.
That's not to say I oppose EVs. As an appreciator of efficiency, EVs greatly appeal to me. I encourage everyone who could be well served by an EV to get one. To date, I've convinced zero people. Maybe my friend was slightly influenced by me, but he was already thinking in that direction to begin with.
