an EV and the environment blog
« on: March 07, 2020, 05:51:58 PM »
You might find this blog interesting. It compares ICE vehicles with their all-electric versions when it comes to creating environmental pollution. (Don't forget to check out the comments. It didn't take long for the "haters" to start commenting.)

I still think it dumb to compare EVs to ICE because when it comes down it for EVs nothing comes out of a tailpipe.  Then there's argument that producing EVs creates more pollution than an ICE vehicle lifetime.  Also if you charged your bike from solar power then it really was emissions free.

As I see it, blogs are opinions and you know what they say about opinions, every one has at least one.   ;)
