 I think the negatives outweigh the positives. The whole EV industry is not sustainable without government subsidies. And when money is being wasted on unsustainable projects, opportunities for improvement in other industries (like ICE technology) is stifled. We’ve had EVs before and they failed because gas powered cars are just better. Those safety features can be integrated into gas fueled cars too. EV cars are unaffordable without those subsidies and pretty useless in harsh cold environments because the battery degrades. Green tech is just a scam.
