>Maybe overall CO2 production would be less, maybe more According to most EV proponents, that is the entire point. We are being slowly forced to switch to EVs that are much less convenient, and incur a much higher manufacturing cost (in materials, rare minerals, and energy), because the overall CO2 reduction will (help) stop the planet overheating. If that's not certain, then what is the point? I'll say it again - yes, we may have some capacity to generate enough electricity so that domestic vehicle usage can change to EVs. However, that would be done by burning more gas, which obliterates any CO2 benefits, and does nothing to address the (I assume) higher commercial usage of petrol and diesel. >At least with electric vehicles there's a clear technological roadmap to 0 emissions - there's no credible roadmap for 0 emissions with internal combustion engines. Which is what? In my opinion, the only credible roadmap involves nuclear power, and it looks like the UK is mostly decommissioning its nuclear plants.
