Very true. Considering the whole supply chain for accurate comparison is complicated. Although I think my main point still stands : from an environmental perspective it's rather ineffective to have an electric car in a place where electricity comes from fossil fuels.
- ZeroGravitas 9y agoI think you're overstating the current situation and also leaving out the fourth dimension. If the grid gets cleaner over the useful life of the EV then it benefits from that. I believe basically all grids are projected to get vleaner over the next decade.
- ajkjk 9y agoWhile electric cars might be worse for the environment, they're probably much better for people, because the pollution generation can be moved well away from dense urban areas. I imagine most people don't even remember what a city without gasoline pollution, like, smells like. I imagine it will be similar to those before-after photos of cleaning smoker's apartments.
