Show me where I have said EV cars are rubbish, please.
70% of world electricity still comes from fossil fuels. In the case of Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang etc., it comes from one of the dirtiest power stations on the planet, fuelled by lignite. It spews as much toxic cocktail as all ICE's, with a dash of radon to add flavor.
If you are charging from home solar, good for you. Most EV owners are not.
