Can someone explain exactly how electric cars fight climate change when 75% of electricity is generated from fossil fuels?

Did I mention that the batteries and other components of electric cars contaminate land and water with extremely toxic chemicals that will poison every living thing on the planet (not only when the materials are being mined and transported but also when they are disposed of at the end of their lifecycle)?

Did I mention that Communist China controls the world's supply of essential minerals and materials needed to make electric cars and will therefore control transportation (and can shut it down at will) making the world dependent on them and making trillions of dollars in profits off of electric cars that they will use to do their evil bidding?

Did I mention that China is using child slave labor (as well as adult slave labor) that works in strip mines in other countries such as in Africa that destroy the land to get these essential minerals required to build electric cars?

Did I mention that with all electric cars all it would take is a single EMP detonated over the USA for Communist China to shut down our entire transportation system?

Well to be fair an emp would affect most modern internal combustion engine driven vehicles as well, due to the amount of computers in them. But yeah while they are cool, fun to drive, and definitely has their advantages, being good for he environment isn't one of them. Anyone who truly believes that doesn't really have a grasp on how they're manufactured.

That's a fair point about the EMP. But at least some of the old clunkers would run.

It's really simple. It only requires that YOU be really simple so they can brainwash you into believing their bullshit! Electric cars aren't that great, not many people can afford them and there's no such thing as climate change or global warming! If they REALLY wanted to do something to help the environment, they'd STOP taking private jets everywhere to preach to us about how bad it is to take private jets to go 10 miles away and they'd let us use Seth Meyer's invention: the car that runs on WATER!
And, an EMP would completely fuck up your gas car, too because it DOES have and need electronics to run! Maybe one of those old crank-up jobs from about 100 years ago would work but, I'm not sure about that, either.

The way they intend to fight climate change is to make it that its unaffordable to travel more than 5 miles from your home.

Most effective way to fight climate change is to tackle obesity.

I really wanted this to be a success but there is really no advantage ot the environment with these vehicles. I shudder to think what will happen if Biden ends production of internal combustion cars by 2032. Ther expense not only for the car but for the charging stations and the manufacturing of the batteries. The batteries only last 3 or 4 years then they have to be replaced for thousands of dollars.

The climate is changing and it is not caused by fossil fuel.

And the "carbon footprint" of mining the lithium and rare earth metals is immense. Then there is the forced labor in China and Africa...
