And electric cars still produce a lot of CO2 in manufacturing, to the point that though an electric car is a reduction in CO2, its on the same order of magnitude of an gas car for regular usage.
- epistasis 2y agoThat's not true at all. There's a bit more CO2 during manufacture, at the moment, but a single year of driving and the EV has caught up to a gas car on emissions. Given that lifetime of cars is multiple decades now, the savings are huge for EVs.
