Hydrogen cars will require fossil fuels to be manufactured, same with hybrids. EVs have a smaller carbon footprint than both over their lifetime.
No duh, current manufacturing is done with fossil fuels. Everybody knows that. So what's the point of a comment like this, other than to downplay how important EVs are going to be at solving the climate crisis?
- sebmellen 4y agoThe point is that we should encourage people to buy hybrid and highly fuel efficient cars over gas guzzlers. Many people who can’t afford EVs could afford the alternatives. Someone driving a 45mpg Mitsubishi Mirage (a tiny car with a low manufacturing footprint, and the cheapest in the US) around town once in a while is a lot better than someone driving a GMC Suburban.
