You see it’s a conspiracy, Sleepy Joe wants us to keep using fossil fuels so the liberals will vote him back it so it looks like he’s doing something! The last thing he wants is for us to stop using fossil fuels! I bought an EV today just to spite him
They’ve run the numbers a long time ago. Even using the dirtiest electricity state in the US, EVs come out ahead of combustion engines. And we’ve come a long ways since then too.
The biggest difference is even when using dirty energy source electrice vehicles are more efficient at using the electricity from the dirty sources than gas engines are at burning gasoline directly
An EV goes about 6 times as far as an equal weight and aeri ICE on the same energy. A typical EV goes ten times as far as a typical ICE. Even the most inefficient coal plant still puts the EV ahead (including embodied emissions) after a year or two.
Neither are sustainable as the default transport for people.
maybe if you can convince them that global warming helps out joe biden they will be against it.

most electric plants use coal or natural gas. EV isnt any “cleaner” than a small gas engine.
We’re on nuclear, solar, and hydro where I am, something like 90-95% of my energy is clean. Demand your local energy go green!
