It's important to make this point that they are "battery electric vehicles" because you're prematurely declaring victory. It's not "splitting hairs". Until society actually builds net-zero carbon electrical generation we haven't done much for carbon footprint.
- ninkendo 4y agoWhy is the phrase “battery electric vehicles” more accurate at conveying the mixed energy sources than “electric vehicles” exactly? How does adding the word “battery” change anything? EV’s run on electricity. The phrase “Electric Vehicle” has no implication one way or the other how you get said electricity. Adding the word “battery” changes exactly nothing, except maybe winning arbitrary strawman internet points. > Until society actually builds net-zero carbon electrical generation we haven't done much for carbon footprint. Ok so if my electricity is provided by a nuclear plant, I still can’t call my car an EV because there exists other sources of electricity out there? Please.
