The whole basis of switching to electric vehicles is based on the lie that CO2 from fossil fuels cause climate change, and the true irony is that oil isn't a fossil fuel, CO2 is good for the planet, and climate change is natural. There's a lot more to it than this, but I don't want to bore you with the details, because there are a lot.
