I’ve seen a lot of posts here on Lemmy, specifically in the “fuck cars” communities as to how Electric Vehicles do pretty much nothing for the Climate, but I continue to see Climate activists everywhere try pushing so, so hard for Electric Vehicles.

Are they actually beneficial to the planet other than limiting exhaust, or is that it? or maybe exhaust is a way bigger problem?

    ICE vehicles are no better for mining and labor, it’s just a talking point at this point to try to make people buying EVs feel stupid. Like oil companies don’t have blood on their hands and we haven’t literally started multiple wars over oil

    Manufacturing as a whole is terrible. Fact is if you buy anything there will be ethical concerns. At least with an EV once the purchase is done you won’t be continuing to poison the planet with fumes.
