Making and transporting gasoline releases more than 1/3 of the pollution associated with cars. It’s a lot dirtier than just what comes out of your tailpipe because flaring doesn’t have a catalytic converter, and they don’t remove sulfur etc until later. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_flare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_flare Fossil fuel use for making electricity has been falling, and cars last 25 years. So over an EV’s lifetime the grid will likely keep getting cleaner. In 2000 70.2% of US electricity came from fossil fuels, in 2010 69.5%, in 2015 it was 65.81%, in 2022 59.77%. Let’s see what happens in 2030, 2040, etc. Further, the added capacity to power EV’s isn’t the same as what’s powering the existing demand. The US hasn’t built a new coal power plant in years, but we aren’t going to decommission them early either. PS: People complain about bird strikes on wind turbines but they forget about incidents like: “Approximately 7,500 migrating songbirds were attracted to and killed by the flare at the liquefied natural gas terminal in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada on September 13, 2013.” Fossil fuels are even worse than generally perceived.
