For example, ordinary households driving fossil fuel-powered vehicles were the top emitters of the greenhouse gases responsible for climate change in Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Ontario in 2021, the year the estimates were from.

Ban large vehicles, reduce car lanes, build more bike lanes, incentivise micromobility, and improve public transportation options.

Every step in this chain would benefit the whole of society a lot more than only helping with climate change. Do it already and stop pushing for unaffordable EVs that don't have nearly the same benefits as a robust, active transportation network.

EVs just continue all the problems of car depedancy while only eliminating tail pipe emissions and greenwashing car centric design.

Regardless how it is powered, bringing 3000+ pounds of steel everywhere you go is inefficient.
