Individual EVs are not a long term solution, since we could never sustainably meet demand to replace every current fossil fuel car with an electric one. The resources just aren't there. We'll wreck supplies just in the first run of providing everyone their first EV. Not even thinking of how we'll even renew the fleet a decade or two later. And that's not even accounting for all other applications, like phones or computing. That's why all serious environmental / societal activists would rather prefer we all shift to collective transportation and urban densification. So that we cut our need to even own cars at the root. But one's own personal EV is much more appealing to the masses because, you know, "muh freedom!".
