Are you just forgetting the part where there's less gasoline demand or any efficiency differences?
- goodSteveramos 3y agoYes. Those two factors are completely irrelevant for calculating the source of electric power used to charge new EVs. Gasoline demand and efficiency differences are instead captured in the carbon footprint estimates.
- jayd16 3y agoBut you yourself estimate 20% savings and then hand wave that away under "fossil fuels."
- goodSteveramos 3y agoI have no idea what you are trying to say.
