Big EV are absolutely more polluting. They require more resources in their construction — which is a major driver of overall pollution footprint. Larger EVs also require more energy (eg electricity) to propel them, and all electricity sources have a pollution footprint (sometimes directly but always at construction/clean up).
Even your “dig deeper/build taller” for parking carries additional pollution costs.

- anthonyskipper 4y agoThat's pretty weak... next you will argue sports cars shouldn't be a thing because they burn through tires in less than 10k pretty often.
- saagarjha 4y agoI’m not here to win an argument. I provided a fact and nothing more. If sports cars also burn through tires quickly they’re causing pollution of this type as well.
- anthonyskipper 4y agoDigging deeper/building taller lets you removing parking roadside and street level though that makes things way more walkable and just better in a lot of places.
