    An electric car must have been pretty dirty back then. Most power was made by much less efficient coal generators after all.

    I am not saying that this is still the case today, quite the opposite.

    (Although no car is always better than a car)

      Well yeah, but an ICE car would’ve been pretty dirty too. For how light the cars were, they used a lot of fuel, and there was no emissions equipment whatsoever.

      We’ve gotten pretty good at ICE efficiency. It’s not as good as EV efficiency, but it’s come a LONG way in the last 100+ years.
