Don't think EV is going to help much. On the individual level anything you would do is miniscule. The change has to come from politicians, so its all about voting.

I agree with you, but I think it shows the level of commitment from the population is so low that we aren't willing to prioritize the issue when voting. WA even shot down multiple carbon-tax-like initiatives.

Nothing will change politically until the predictions contain the phrase "by the next election" and by then it's far too late.
