Investing in more sustainable methods of transportation and development will be much more impactful than pretending to care about the environment by shoving EVs down everyone's throats. Younger generations are increasingly preferring to live in urban areas where they can walk/bike/Uber around to their destinations, and are generally uninterested in cars. Also a lot of growing evidence pointing to the downsides of car-based lifestyles especially if that comes on top of sitting at a desk all day.
And besides. Whether you're driving an ICE or electric car, having to battle traffic everywhere you go sucks. But for most, driving is the ONLY feasible way to get anywhere.

If they truly wanted to save the auto industry, they would stop the massive overpricing of everything
