    EVs still need the same infrastructure as ICE vehicles

    Hmmm, I haven’t taken mine to a gas station in two years. I must be way overdue.

    Now I know you’re moving the goalposts to roads when I was talking gasoline industry, but let me point out where I started

    While I completely agree transit, and walkable cities are much better, EVs are not nothing.

    More importantly I do live in a partly walkable town. I do use transit when I can. And yes I have the privilege of living in one of the few parts of the US where intercity rail is decent

      Talking only about the gasoline industry when considering climate change is, at best, ineffective. What’s more, that’s exactly what the cartoon is calling out, i.e. touting the reduction in tailpipe emissions while ignoring all the myriad other ways that EVs are just like ICE vehicles. (Which includes large contributions to climate change.)
