Zurn - i'm confuseed. So in the study the article presents they say production is the biggest polutant for a car, and bigger for ev than for cv; In your UCLA paper they argue that the greatest cost to the env is given by use itself and in that sense cvs are worse.
Which one is accurate then ?

- zurn 11y agoThe article doesn't seem well-sourced (their graph is a screenshot from a slide that says "confidential", and you can't make out the text that might be a reference). But the point was that the chassis isn't a big part of the footprint which isn't contradicted by their claims. Note that the slide is not talking about the same measure (co2), the slide screenshot is titled "total environmental system damage" which smells a bit like picking an rarely-used but favourable metric here.
