Are internal combustion cars one of the main cause of Ethiopia's problems?
Let's pretend all-electric cars are the solution and nothing else for a moment, these transitions require an immense allocation of resources, so either they are swimming in money or ICE is their main problem... or their politicians are out of their fucking minds.
As in 20 years ago with the whole "cloud computing" thing, the "EVs are green and we must ban ICE now" is a very strong marketing campaign and cannot be reversed because above all people don't like to be wrong and someone saying "EVs will solve nothing other than your superficial perception of being environmentally friendly is" might as well tell them to f themselves.
Remember kids: only a fraction of the World's population can afford to play these urban upper middle class games.
