Where energy is produced isn’t the same problem as emissions by vehicles. EVs aren’t meant to address emissions of power production, they’re meant to reduce demand for fossil fuels to aide in shifting to carbon neutral alternatives.
$40k for a new car is on par for their ICE offerings, especially something like a 4Runner
that way i ll keep rocking my 10k$ mk6 diesel running without dpf or adblue from the other side of the planet, until a carbon neutral alternative is figured out
This is your "scientific approach"? You don't adopt something new because it costs more than something that is already old? Well, good thing that in 10 years there will be plenty of cheap EVs. Using the tech of today, which you claim is not figured out now.
