Electricity transportation is not efficient
Recycling EV stuff is also terrible
Funny fact: here in france, in 2019 (so pre-covid), automobile were responsible for 10% of the petroleum consumption on the main land
10%, yes, just 10% (source: https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/2119673 https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/2119673)
The project to replace all cars by EV cars is a fraud. I'm sure not everybody will lose in that project. But don't worry : in the best case (which we know will never be anything but theory and dream), we will resolve 10% of the initial problem. Awesome!
- schiffern 3y ago>10%, yes, just 10% You forgot to include diesel (Gazole), which makes up a whopping 46% of all petroleum use in France. As for your "scam," it doesn't exist. Nobody's claiming EVs can solve the entire sustainability problem all by themselves. That would be oversimplified, "Silver Bullet" thinking. EVs are great, but they're just one part of a complete sustainable economy. "Necessary but not sufficient." [edit: removed a faulty statistic in a tangent]
- orwin 3y ago19% from renewables and 78% from nuclear from what i read, so you're off by an order of magnitude here.
- JeanMarcS 3y agoI don't understand where you get those number from. In the first paragraph of your link : > In 2020, nuclear power made up the largest portion of electricity generation, at around 78%.[2] Renewables accounted for 19.1% of energy consumption.

- orwin 3y agoSo for people that can't read French or statistics: "Carburants pour automobile¹" mean unleaded, and yes, 8.5/72.7 is .11 of the total petroleum consumption. "Gazole" however mean diesel, and is 32.8/72.7 so .45 of the total petroleum consumption. Including buses, tractors and trucks btw.
