EVs are the biggest load of green wash ever and on par with ‘clean coal’. They still use roads and carparks which are environmental waste lands, they also need power to run and their manufacturing and distribution process is definitely not environmentally friendly.
Not to mention that their CEO actively campaigned against public transport in a bid to sell more cars…
If you’re forced to use a car to get to and from work in the inner city, you can blame your government and lobbyists. If you’re rural, it makes sense to use private transport, though I highly doubt it’ll be a Tesla.
I’m from Australia and in our regional areas, there’s no EV charging stations. Additionally, in my state, there’s an EV tax and federal government tax initiatives to have the cost of super utes offset as a business cost, so you essentially get a huge discount for buying them.
Hence, I highly doubt regional areas would have EVs simply because it is almost impossible to do.
Our roads are heavily congested in the inner city where I live and we have public transport, though before 2020, we hadn’t had a rail infrastructure upgrade in about 150 years. So, I’m deeply passionate about alternative modes of transport to cars especially for inner city travellers because we actually have options that people don’t want to take.
I’m actually seeing a lot of Teslas and more rivians than I expected in southern Indiana/western Kentucky. It probably helps that electricity is cheap there and on the Indiana side gas is expensive.
In the outback in Australia, no one would be seen with a Tesla or any EV, I can guarantee that much. The most common vehicle would be the Toyota LandCruiser or Hilux.

…as opposed to what? A horse and cart? We’re not all biking, running or taking a train to work. The fuck?!

Why would you highly doubt that?
