ajn the basis of your premise is flawed.
You seem to be saying that because you polluted in the past you shouldn’t try to clean up your act.
You are also plain wrong in saying that producing EVs causes as much pollution as ICE cars.
Like it or not EVs are currently the least polluting way to get from A to B and are significantly cheaper to do so.
We have to concentrate on making it easy for as many people as possible to take advantage of this relatively non polluting technology.
Making false claims about the green credentials of EVs doesn’t help.
