It's not, but I still don't see why a promise to get rid of EVs gets him more votes. It might appeal to people stupid enough already to support him, but of those who currently are Undecided, which gets more votes- promising to get rid of EVs or promising cheaper EVs?
You are right of course that as long as the power to charge the EV fleet is coming predominantly from FF fired thermal power plants, there is little if any reduction in total CO2 emissions. Plus additional environmental damage from the Lithium mining as long as that is the predominant battery chemistry used.
So, neither candidate is proposing a solution that will work, but which one sells to the most as yet uncommitted voters? Or does that not even matter anymore? Is it now strictly a matter of ideology combined with a "throw the bums out" psychology where people vote for whoever is NOT currently in office because whoever is in office is held responsible for the collapsing economic and social success of the society?
