Over the 20 year service life of a car, operating costs dwarf production costs.
- cbmuser 6y agoWe were talking about emissions, not costs.
- brianwawok 6y agoExactly. If car A produces 1 tons of emissions to build, and 100 tons over its life, and car B produces 2 tons of emissions to build, and 50 tons over its life, car B is the better one for the environment. (52 < 101) Looking at emissions to build as a metric by itself is disingenuous, you should look at lifetime emissions instead.
