Do EV's actually do anything beneficial for the planet? (lemmy.today)

I've seen a lot of posts here on Lemmy, specifically in the "fuck cars" communities as to how Electric Vehicles do pretty much nothing for the Climate, but I continue to see Climate activists everywhere try pushing so, so hard for Electric Vehicles.

Are they actually beneficial to the planet other than limiting exhaust, or is that it? or maybe exhaust is a way bigger problem?

so few people live in rural areas (as opposed to suburban cowboys who wonder why their :rural area" has so much traffic) that it's a rounding error. like who cares about the middle of nowhere. it's a distraction to even bring it up. this conversation is explicitly about metropolitan areas

    Actually, this conversation is implicitly exclusively about metropolitan areas.

    I think some people don't get that, because it's never spelled out. (Some know it, but try to argue in bad faith or derail the conversation anyway)
