"because the average electric vehicle (#EV) owner is wealthier than the average person, they still have a bigger than average carbon footprint"

Wealth is a problem.

IF automakers allow us to have smaller EVs - like the Chinese ones they fight tooth and nail to keep out of the country - lots more of us would buy one. Seems they don't really believe in that "free market [TM]" thing.

Instead, they prefer to whine that "The consumer" doesn't "want" to buy their EVs.

Well duh. They're too expensive.

Aha here we go:

Europeans also not buying enough EVs.

Carmakers blame consumer "reluctance".

Ask for more time to decarbonise.

EU govt. puts foot down ( not on gas pedal).

Insists car industry comply with legal limits for fleetwide carbon emissions.

Car industry lowers prices.

Now, already, people rubbing their hands over the expected increase in EV sales.

It's not hard.

Just requires spine.
