    Realistically, EVs are useful as a stopgap solution. They could be used to cover the transition as we expand public transit like EV busses, trains, subways, etc.

      EVs are basically clean vehicles. All the emissions from them come either from their production or from where their energy comes from. The latter is easily solvable by going nuclear and renewable. Also old EV batteries can be recycled and repurposed as grid storage.

      There’s no silver bullet to stop CO2 emissions, there’s a shitload of solutions being studied right now that will need to be implemented.
