It’s not that electric vehicles are green, it’s just that they allow your ultimate power source to be easily swapped with something green. At least in the US, the majority of electricity is generated from fossils fuels, so I think it’s a little disingenuous to say that EV is green (by default).
- fit2rule 8y agoNobody could ever argue that the US is green. But many European countries have wind farms, and decent solar. Europe is way greener, energy-wise, than the US - still has a long way to go, sure, but for sure electric vehicles stand a much better change of a green-source advantage in most of Europe over pretty much anywhere at all in the US.
