The problems with fossil fuels go way beyond climate change. If you told me that everything is a myth and it was just some government conspiracy involving almost every country on earth it wouldn't change anything. Even at 0.30€/kWh a used Kia Soul EV (small SUV) would pay for itself in gas savings compared to my 40MPG car. If climate change turns out to be true it will just be a nice bonus on top of all the other benefits you get by switching away from fossil fuels and if it doesn't, then everything is fine. You just can't lose by betting against fossil fuels. You know what the best part is? You get to avoid fuel taxes! The German government budget will shrink by 10% if we go all EV so if you hate taxation then EVs are the way to go!
