Remember that renewables are only, what, 10-20% of our electric supply?
EVs are way heavier, and they require more energy, raw materials, and toxic chemicals to produce.
If the lawmakers where serious about this, then would solve the other problems first. We need a clean electric supply, first. Then we need a green supply chain, EV trucks, trains and ships and factories etc. THEN it might make sense to scrap perfectly good used cars in favour of brand new, shiny, must-have EVs.
