You couldn’t be more wrong. ICE alone kills more than 250,000 people a year in the US alone from air pollution. And converting transportation from 100% fossil fuel to grid electrification is delayed but 100% necessary to have ANY effect on climate change. I meant to phrase it as one or the other as we need to eliminate all fossil fuel burning ASAP.

Right, air pollution is terrible. So let's do the thing that minimizes it, which is not driving all the time.

Completely unrealistic delusional comment. People are going to drive.

For every percent increase in EVs on the road, the air pollution decreases an equivalent percent.

Actually a lot of people don't drive most of the time. If that's news to you then you probably live in a shitty place that's never going to be viable no matter what type of vehicle you use.
