Study shows EV owners have bigger carbon footprint than average because they are wealthier
A pair of psychologists and an economist at the University of Turku, in Finland, have found that because the average electric vehicle (EV) owner is wealthier than the average person, they still have a bigger than average carbon footprint.
Maybe EVs are not a comprehensive climate solution??
Their bigger carbon footprint isn't caused by the EV though.
Correct, it's caused by being relatively rich.
Cars are luxuries. Electric cars are more expensive luxuries.
Correlation ≠ Causation. This study is ridiculous in premise. I hate cars as much as the next guy but please don’t post garbage
Yeah this reads like an article built to make people who don't choose evs to feel justified. What are the real motives of this "study".
I personally own an EV, and also got rid of my gas furnace, and gas water heater, and everything gas. So, wonder who they studied and how
EVs are here to save the car/oil cartels not the planet. The planet can not sustain the level of privilege exhibited by these EV owners. Even if the EV makes a slight improvement, it's not nearly enough and it's a symptom of much greater waste and privilege. We need to stop pretending that EVs are some kind of sustainable solution for the planetary crisis.
Wtf OP. this is so misleading Why are you peddling this ?
What is misleading?
