Really getting tired of seeing the "emissions-free" weasel phrase in everything electric. Until the electricity is 100% renewable, it's not "emissions-free".

- VyseofArcadia 4y agoI read "emissions-free" as "theoretically emissions-free".
- mjamesaustin 4y agoExcept they literally are emissions free. Nothing is emitted from the vehicle over its operable lifetime. Carbon footprint and emissions are not the same. Even if fueling via electricity had as large a carbon footprint as gasoline (it doesn't), it would still be better because it moves all that pollution out of urban environments.
