    Oh another “this solution won’t solve the problem so we should stop trying” take.

    Electric transit can remove 75%+ of transportation emissions by definition. I never said personal electric vehicles will.

    Investment in electric transportation technologies will drive the innovation we need to cut greenhouse emissions in the transportation sector.

    Not investing in electric transportation, and sticking with the ICE status quo will NEVER help reduce emissions. A view that discourages investment in electric transportation is regressive because the current default fallback is ICE. If the fallback was electric trains I would agree with you.

    No one is morally pressuring you into buying an electric car, people are getting excited that there are finally electric car offerings that meet their needs. If you can’t find one, don’t buy one. Stop discouraging people from doing something good just because it’s not yet perfect.
