Because other solutions like providing decent public transport are just too difficult?
Along with air transport, sea transport, over-population, environmental impact of consumerism, free movement of people, and a thousand other inconvenient truths.
The overall effect of EV's will be minimal, it may even be negative in the short term as we prematurely scrap thousands of cars, but because it's become so politicised we'll rush into it just as we did with the previous saviour - diesels !
I must have missed the outcry from the environmentalists, and the armchair forum experts, when diesel cars were pushed to the fore.
Being a well-informed bunch I assume none of us were taken in and we all drive petrol vehicles. I know I do.
