We need an independent party to calculate all parts at manufacture site, to daily usage to reliability of each part ... The work is too much for any person to do, only a group of dedicate/knowledge people can do it with some funds from independent source.
Here's a study I found on the net from UCLA from 2012. It shows BEV's to be cleaner over the entire lifecycle.

Any issues with this study? I'm not be sarcastic and seriously would like to know.
