The issue is that going electric already is a convenient lie we tell ourselves. We can't just replace all cars with electric ones and rhinkbthat we've solved it. We need to realize that the level of individual mobility by personal vehicle we have today is not sustainable.
Going electrical helps your individual emissions, sure, but we should be mindful that these are the pseudo solutions sold by people who would rather change nothing.
