I don’t think you will ever be convinced as you don’t want to believe it. EVs aren’t perfect by a long way but they are infinitely less harmful to the environment than fossil fuel cars and even “Big Oil” has said as much.
Its not a matter of being convined, its the Carbon offsetting I’m not covinced and strongly disagree with but, the gullible will just see this as the best thing since sliced bread.
Having an EV (if one can afford) because they believe one would be cheaper for them run over time I can except and totally agree with but, having one on the presumption that one thinks they are better for the enviroment, whils’t failing to understanding where materials come from and by planting a tree or a setting up windmill as a means of offsetting, then no I’m not convinced.
Apart from the likes of the Guardian, where have “big oil” ever said this?
