EVs always feel silly when I ride my ebike next to them. They’re the least-offensive kind of car, but that’s so much metal/infrastructure/space going into doing the same thing my bike does. All of that is hostile to the environment in so many more ways than just fuel consumption.
Fundamentally you can’t really out engineer yourself out of the fact that using about 2 tons of metal to drive an average of 1,2 passengers somewhere is just inefficient
It is worse than that. They use some rare earth minerals too and thus, they release around 50 tons of carbon dioxide per car compared to 20-30 tons of carbon dioxide per combustion car
