Considering that EVs are way more expensive than ICEVs and the design team has even more constraints compared to gasoline cars (because they need to have an even lower aerodynamic Cx)...buying an EV as it stands is essentially an altruistic choice.
As a young person I feel like I maxed by dose of altruism when I was asked to essentially stop living 2020-2022 for what essentially amounts to a virus comparable with the 1969 Influenza when people where having the time of their lives consming all sorts of drugs at Woodstock and engaging in decadent expenses such as the one incurred in sending people to the Moon.
Also it's not even clear who's gonna be the beneficiary of this altruism, it's a story as old as time that if you leave a vacuum someone else is gonna fill that vacuum. For every ugly Tesla 3 that people in the West inflict upon themselves (and those who have to look at it) there are Indians and Malay farmers who see it as an opportunity to light up even more palm oil for their convenience. Not to mention Chinese industries which post bogus GDP numbers and will soon post bogus CO2 emission numbers.
The West is cucking itself on basically every possible front so we have to thank Nature for installing backup systems in other cultures which will come in handy as they refuse to follow us in this nonsense.
tl;dr Austerity and limiting one's quality of life has never been the answer, all the way back to very beginning of life itself. It won't start being the answer now.
