EVS ARE A CLIMATE ACTION FRAUD: HERE'S WHY

EV Channels Review

John Cadogan argues that Electric Vehicles (EVs) are a climate action fraud, not because they are inherently bad to drive or bad for local pollution, but due to their misrepresentation as a primary climate solution. He contends that the significant CO2 emissions associated with electricity generation, particularly from coal in Australia, dwarf the benefits of EVs. Cadogan highlights that the massive batteries in luxury EVs like the Polestar 3 and Kia EV9 are environmentally problematic due to resource intensity and toxic potential, and their size is excessive for the actual CO2 savings achieved. He proposes that repurposing these large batteries for grid storage or to take homes off the grid would be a far more effective climate strategy, saving significantly more CO2 than individual EV ownership. The reviewer criticizes governments and industry for focusing on EVs as a solution while ignoring larger emission sources like coal power and trucking, labeling the current EV push as a "fraud" and a "conga line of mother lovers" selling ineffective virtue signaling.
