You’re right to be skeptical, as some bad actors try to push the idea that electric cars are worse polluters than ICE cars.
Still this seems to be a problem both for electrical and ICE cars, that needs to be taken seriously and maybe can be fixed or at least reduced in impact by changing materials.
What I’m missing in the discussion is trucks. Usually they have a far greater impact than cars because of their higher weight.
- lumberingjack 6y agoWhere I live we mostly only have public coal electricity still tons of Teslas around here so yes all the electric cars I see throughout my life are worse polluters and for some reason they all want to drag race me in my BMW because they think their cars are faster (they're not)
- mint2 6y agoDid you actually do the math on efficiencies? You can select your state here to see https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_emissions.html https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_emissions.html Remember your bmw doesn’t have regen braking. Apparently Evs are even better in Kentucky, although hybrids are better. But also once the energy mix shifts, because it will not be coal forever even in ky, the pure ice will become even worse. I.e your bmw.
