A pair of psychologists and an economist at the University of Turku, in Finland, have found that because the average electric vehicle (EV) owner is wealthier than the average person, they still have a bigger than average carbon footprint.
Maybe EVs are not a comprehensive climate solution??
Yes. The owners are already wealthier when they buy an EV, and thus they already have the higher carbon footprint. This is not caused by the EV.
But an EV has a significantly higher carbon footprint than public transport, though.
