Comment on The EV industry can’t shake its human rights abuse problem
patatahooligan@lemmy.world 1 month agoEVs can be better than ICEs and still a terrible industry though. You phrase it as if it’s one or the other.
Regardless of abuse allegations, EVs are just not the big improvement we need to fight climate change and save the millions of people that will die because of it. We need fundamental changes like lives built around public transport, biking, and walking, not slightly better vehicles in an enormously wasteful model.

You couldn’t be more wrong. ICE alone kills more than 250,000 people a day in the US alone from air pollution. And converting transportation from 100% fossil fuel to grid electrification is delayed but 100% necessary to have ANY effect on climate change. I meant to phrase it as one or the other as we need to eliminate all fossil fuel burning ASAP.
