If you google there are a ton of studies showing that over the lifetime of a car from the time of manufacturing, emissions from an EV is still about 1/3 or ICE.

- irthomasthomas 4y agoThis one says different. https://www.volvocars.com/images/v/-/media/project/contentplatform/data/media/my23/xc40-electric-light/volvo-cars-LCA-report-xc40.pdf https://www.volvocars.com/images/v/-/media/project/contentpl... And Volvo is making EV cars. Remember that renewables are only, what, 10-20% of our electric supply? EVs are way heavier, and they require more energy, raw materials, and toxic chemicals to produce. If the lawmakers where serious about this, then would solve the other problems first. We need a clean electric supply, first. Then we need a green supply chain, EV trucks, trains and ships and factories etc. THEN it might make sense to scrap perfectly good used cars in favour of brand new, shiny, must-have EVs.
