Study shows EV owners have bigger carbon footprint than average because they are wealthier
by Bob Yirka , Phys.org
 
A pair of psychologists and an economist at the University of Turku, in Finland, have found that because the average electric vehicle (EV) owner is wealthier than the average person, they still have a bigger than average carbon footprint.


For their paper published in the open-access journal PLOS Climate, Nils Sandman, Elisa Sahari and Aki Koponen analyzed questionnaires sent to thousands of random adults in Finland regarding lifestyle choices, car use, environmental opinions and how they felt about EVs.

As global warming, exacerbated by human-origin greenhouse gas emissions continues, makers of some goods have begun to alter their products in ways that reduce emissions. One such product is the automobile.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

So, just getting rid of the wealthy will give us a pristine environment.  We don't need carbon capture or any of those other leftist programs! :whistle:
