Do EV's actually do anything beneficial for the planet? (lemmy.today)

I've seen a lot of posts here on Lemmy, specifically in the "fuck cars" communities as to how Electric Vehicles do pretty much nothing for the Climate, but I continue to see Climate activists everywhere try pushing so, so hard for Electric Vehicles.

Are they actually beneficial to the planet other than limiting exhaust, or is that it? or maybe exhaust is a way bigger problem?

Also, if commercial investors had not cornered the housing market, and the government didn't subsidize absurdly high loans.

Life would be a lot easier for everyone if landlords just didn't exist.
