An EV will consume fewer fossil fuel resources than an infernal-combusted equivalent over its perhaps 10 to 20 year lifetime.

But most of the roughly 4 tonnes of CO2 it will generate just to come to market will be in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. And this bit matters more than the first.

Somewhat less fossil fuel is better than nothing. But we need to be heading towards *radically* less.

How shall we do that?

It's called "public transportation".

The individual car has to disappear.

The private jet, the private helicopter, the private yacht have to disappear.

Taking a plane, unless there is a quantum leap in propulsion, should be extremely rare and costly.

One of the most efficient transportation devices is the train, in all its forms (subway, trams, etc) and the most efficient transportation device is the human powered bicycle. Period.
