New Study / Electric Cars Make 1,850 Times MORE POLLUTION than Gas-Powered Vehicles

[4WD]

If a purported "study" finds a very unlikely result in the relative pollution of EVs versus hydrocarbon powered vehicles, it isn't rocket science to figure out that the hit piece was funded by entities that rely upon the production of hydrocarbon fuels and hydrocarbon powered vehicles for their daily bread. Maybe not directly by any company, but certainly indirectly by those with a vital interest in maintaining the status quo, with EVs only a small if growing fraction of the market.
Who do you think might have funded this?
Maybe Tesla and Panasonic?

Who do I think? - I did not pretend to know ...
I do know all these companies plan to make green from green ...

It’s easy to just make up BS on the internet.

Yep, and that knife cuts both ways.

Don't forget the original Honda Insight, where with a 5-speed stick and hypermiling techniques, was putting up 100+mpg around 20 years ago...

And... 0-60 time was more like a slight maybe, bwahaha. I've been stuck behind a few of those turds and for the look/pathetic function I'd choose a bicycle any day.

A lot of good fast 0-60 time does.

LOL typical of a ride here during rush hour.

I have seen it much worst, wait til you see an EV with a flat battery in one of the tunnels or in the middle of one of these jams in the winter.

Everything I can find says ~5% is lost in transmission and distribution. Which yes, ends up being a big number because we produce a lot of electricity, but that’s pretty good in my opinion given the giant vast expanse of the grid.

District heating and power generation would work on our cities, but overall we are just too far spread out for that to really be economically viable. Italy has a population density of 521/sq mi, the U.S.A. is 87.

Between petroleum feedstocks and finished products 5% are “lost” along the way
Spills, VOC, improper extraction (lost underground), etc

This is part of the reason oil economy is viewed as being as dirty as it is because so much just gets out into the environment before it can even be used.

If I'm going to get stuck in traffic, I'd rather do it in my EV than sit there idling burning fuel.

It's Elon's fault. He's wack.

In many more ways than one.
