While electric vehicles emit less carbon than other cars, their drivers typically cause more overall pollutant emissions than those who drive petrol or diesel, a team of researchers in Finland has found.
The reason is that electric vehicles (EVs) are usually more expensive than a petrol or diesel equivalent. This means they are beyond many household budgets and largely limited to people whose so-called carbon footprint is higher than the general population due to them having more money to spend.

Obviously, the solution to climate change is to ban people from having too much money! We need high tax rates, coupled with an economic philosophy that preaches from each according to his abilities and to each according to his needs, and decisions by technocratic experts! This is the Way! /satire
My home is small and solar PV powered. I live in a small town which means our travel is short distances. Our carbon emissions footprint is estimated at 1/10th that of average American households. We also drive an EV.
But per the above research, driving an EV is awful and evil – because if you can afford an EV, then you are an awful person who has too much money – and that means, you must have high carbon emissions.
Thus, after activists encourage buying EVs, they now say people who drive EVs are evil.
