I sometimes wish people who make this argument would go sit in a sealed room with a running electrical car and then a running petrol or diesel car and tell me which one was the better experience.
- chewz 7y agoI would prefer sitting in a sealed room with my bike.. Always something to tinker with.
- rwmurrayVT 7y agoI think the argument here though is sit in the car with the vehicle's emissions from non-existent to end of life. I do agree that point-source emissions of the electricity being generated is a big advantage. Nothing sucks more than being exposed to vehicle emissions in traffic/city/etc.
- rootusrootus 7y agoWell, to be fair, you need to be sitting in the room during the production of the battery, too ;-)
- ecpottinger 7y agoAs long as you also sit beside the smelter that makes the metal for the engine, drive shaft and gearing.
- rootusrootus 7y agoSure. I'd even allow that you could share that experience with all the steel being smelted for both cars.
- VBprogrammer 7y agoThe pollution from the production of the battery, the steel and the aluminium can occur well away from major population centres. They are centralised and immobile so there is a much better chance that in the future they can utilise more efficient methods or at least capture some of their emissions.
