Well, that too.

I have some LiPo-based 1.5V AA and AAA batteries that have USB-C ports built in for charging. The AAA ones claim 1200 mWh (800 mAh) and the AA ones claim 3400 mWh or ~2250 mAh. (I say "claim" because I bought them off some random

This study is about air quality in neighborhoods . So it would show the same thing even if EVs just moved pollution from where people use their cars to where power plants get placed, because that's not the question it's addressin
