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??
Actually, that is the case. New EVs tend to be pretty expensive and not very affordable for the average person. The second hand EV market is just getting started. Small, affordable EVs are beginning to emerge but it will be a few years until they make an impact. So right now the average EV buyer will definitely be more wealthy than the average ICE car buyer.
