Fact, an EV does not produce any emissions after it's built. (driving)
Even taking that into consideration, it's less not more. The mining of fossil fuels, refining, pumping, diving in Semi's to gas stations, etc... is still more CO2 produced. Sad but true.As long as you exclude the majority of EVs that are powered by coal and nat gas power plants.
CA c02 emissions are actually going up with the adoption of EVs.

Fact, the total CO2 does become less after a certain number of miles for the EV depending on the size of the battery.I lost some brain cells listening to her. It's easy to regurgitate what you "Think" makes sense, but have no proof or fact behind it. The general population can easily be manipulated and it has been proven over and over again.
Fact, it takes more CO2 to build an EV over an ICE vehicle.

Fact and ICE vehicle does keep producing emissions after it's built. (driving)
Fact, the total CO2 does become less after a certain number of miles for the EV depending on the size of the battery.
It's a hard pill to swallow for us gearheads, but hard to beat real facts.

I agree with this. Doesn't matter what we do here, if China and India do nothing we are pissing in the wind.But the whole debate is a total distraction. It is China and India industry that is responsible for global co2. The US has drastically cut c02 per capita since the 90s. Whether you drive an EV or not is totally irrelevant, nor should c02 be a consideration in US industrial policy.

How is this? Longer it runs, the total C02 is mitigated?
What about the lifespan of said electric vehicles? Do you think there will be an electric vehicle on the road 35 years in the future, that was produced today?
To me, it seems, having a automobile for longer periods, are much better for the environment. Keeping your stuff running, and the lifecycle moves along. My 88' D50 has been around the block. But it's a daily that has lasted for 35 years. Talk about impact on materials and the environment. People have been turned into such a consumer society. You used to buy things and take care of them.
What's the overall transportation C02 emissions? Something like 6%-10%. Has nothing to do with the environment. Its about control, knowing where you are going and when. The path to hell, is paved with good intentions.

China owns all those African countries and their resources. Maybe Zimbabwe needs some Communists?It looks like we will be "introducing democracy" to Zimbabwe in 3....2....1....
If you want some data, just watch this. If you really have a few minutes to learn, watch the whole thing.Fact, the total CO2 does become less after a certain number of miles for the EV depending on the size of the battery.

Hey OX1.......
I learned something about modern "Puter Controlled" refrigerators when ours quit about 4 years back.......called small appliance guy and he enlightened me that most failures are defrost cycle failures!! The damn Puter hangs up and simply needs a REBOOT........unplug 5 minutes plug it back in and TADA......fixed.....SOB!!
Four years plus later and still \doing fine!!
The best thing we could do is require cars to have a longer life of usability, such as 500k miles or longer without rusting out.To me, it seems, having a automobile for longer periods, are much better for the environment.

It's ****ing MethonalSynthetic fuel? Sounds interesting.

I'll still keep my 8.4L Big Block 6 speed Viper though. LOL
