Green-washing. They are definitely an alternative, but they are not the solution. The might 'clean' up the air in cities, but that just means the 'emissions' are occuring in other ways. They still require gross raping of the earth's natural resources to create, build, operate, maintain, and dispose of.
EV's require enormous amounts of electrical energy to charge, in most parts of the world infrastructure to do that is effectively non existent yet. Battery capacity it too low for most practical real-world uses. Many people no longer do standard day time only jobs so charging at home at night means power can only come from the grid as solar charging doesn't work at night.

@zonavar68 who said anything about solar charging? Plug it into an electricity port at night, just like any other of your appliances.
@SW-User Just imagine what happens when everybody gets home from work at 6pm and plugs in....

@sunsporter1649 That won't happen, because not "everybody" gets home from work at 6pm. And even if they did, it wouldn't be a problem. Brownouts, blackouts etc. from EVs is pure propaganda. Literally any other type of electrical device you wouldn't have a problem with.
@zonavar68 Centralising the pollution in large plants off cities seems already much better than having that very same pollution occurring in the cities where people live. This, without even considering that you can monitor/filter much better the output of large plants, than the output of every single vehicle, that people can't afford to upgrade really often.
@sunsporter1649 Why don't you move to Russia sporty? It's the kind of failed ultraconservative state of your dreams, no need to drag your country down to that level when such a place exists already, don't you think?
