Isn't this kind of obvious? But it has nothing to do with EVs themselves. If we count it like this, iphone owners should also have a bigger footprint. I don't think anybody is claiming EVs would eliminate all issues.
It's obvious for everyone with basic logic skills.
But that doesn't mean we can't try and twist the fact for anti-EV propaganda. Because it's really, really, really important we keep burning oil... if you are someone selling oil and have the money to spread bullshit for personal gains that is.
I agree with you, but I also hate EVs. Mostly because I think public transport is superior. But I still support it as a driving alternative. It's just the world's biggest half-measure.
This is where I stand. EVs are not necessarily bad, but they are a bad solution to transportation emissions when compared to alternatives. It isn't enough to just convert all cars to EVs, we should still be building more walkable places and expanding transit networks.
I guess in the ideal world wealthier people should actually emit less as they could use greener but more expensive services
