CMV: EV's (for personal use) are one of the worst things to happen to climate policy because they offer a faux solution to the car problem and eat up a ton of resources.

 

EV's at the moment are objectively unsustainable and impossible to implement at a large scale. There's not enough lithium and our grid isn't developped enough.

They're a gadget upper middle class people buy for themselves to virtue signal and political parties that build policy aruond them are being disingenuous. They take away from real policies that could combat car use like investing in public transport and bike lanes. 

I do think they can have a use in the transport sector but i don't think we should be wasting lithium on toys for rich people that are only barely less destructive to the climate then normal cars are.

A lot of European countries are banning the sale of non-electronic vehicles in 2030. This seems to me a "poor people can't have a car" rule. I have a feeling a lot of the batteries that could have been used for electronic bicycles are gonna be used for electric cars which will make the price of those skyrocket.

Is that not what you want? Your alternative proposals are all about eliminating car useage, so if requiring electric cars eliminates them, it will force the implementation of those policies.
