Odd question to ask, perhaps, on this sub. But I recently had a conversation with someone who is blindly anti-EV and he kept rambling on about a “silent majority” of EV owners who “don’t care at all” about the environment. I personally don’t think that’s true, but I may be (sadly) wrong.
(We are both car enthusiasts, but he leans right, I lean left (and am concerned climate change). In case people are curious)
IMO, the phrase “don’t care at all” is too stark. I have been driving EVs for the past 14 years because I like technology and performance. I would be selecting EVs even if their environmental impact were no better than ICE vehicles.
But the fact is, EVs are better for the environment, and of course that is a nice side benefit. While the environmental benefits have not been critical to my purchasing decisions, they are definitely appreciated.
