Right, so production costs twice as much Co2 (and ignoring other environmental affects), but that's ok because of the net saving considering what it's replacing... but wait we aren't replacing because of range anxiety, we are augmenting... so it's not better?
These are the author's own arguments, its not consistent.
- timbit42 3y agoWhat causes the additional CO2? If it is the batteries, a PHEV typically has 10% of the batteries yet is sufficient to provide for electric only use in over 90% of daily usage. If battery production is not sufficient to meet the demand for EVs, then PHEVs are a good solution until production can meet the demand. China is now manufacturing EVs with sodium ion batteries instead of lithium ion. What is the difference between CO2 between lithium ion and sodium ion batteries?
