Even if your numbers are correct, most Americans can't afford a new car. And if fewer than 50% of Americans can afford an EV, it won't solve the problem. But, if we are all going to die in a few years unless we all drive EVs, the government should buy everyone a new EV. That is far less costly than the destruction of mankind.
If the threat is as serious as some people say, we should be doing everything to stop climate change. If we all knew that, unless we took drastic measures, we were going to die in 2030 because of climate change, I think all of us would be willing to sell our homes and cars and move into a small apartment and just use our golf carts. We would be willing to stop traveling and we would be willing to stop eating meat. When the Davos crowd gives up their private planes and embrace vegetarianism, I will know that it is serious. Until then, it is so much hot air.
