Well, duh. If you change nothing about your lifestyle except adding an EV to your fleet, you're not helping the climate.
We can't produce and consume our way out of this.
You are helping the climate because the EV is better than the ICE you would have used instead. It is a baby step, but given that humans will object to changing their lifestyle a very useful one. We need lots of other options for those rich to improve their climate footprint. (great transit would be better, but it needs to be good enough that they decide that don't need a car - not the transit for those who after 5 DWIs can't get someone else to drive them which is what a lot of rich get)
