> if an EV is driven 50,000 miles over its lifetime Small nit-pick, but this made my eyes pop out of my skull. My first car had over 200k miles on it when I _started_ driving it another 75k. It seems ridiculous to use 50k in these calculations. > Where the electricity comes from isn't a function of the car; that is just stupid. I don't think it's fair to dismiss this part of the argument. In the US, the vast majority of our electricity is generated with fossil fuels. It's great that the car maker wishes this wasn't the case, but the reality is absolutely relevant to the discussion IMHO.
