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?

More like no one should be demonizing those who do need cars.

Well it's a good thing no one is doing that then, isn't it? Why does everyone feel the need to make up problems to whine about?

For crying out loud I live in a small town and need a car. Do you think I don't deserve access to decent public transportation?

People do do this. Just because you don't, doesn't mean no one else does. I've had discussions with multiple people trying to convince me that anyone who drives a car is evil.
