This is true of hybrids but it’s been proven, again and again, that BEVs overcome manufacturing output and grid output of greenhouse gases within 2 years of purchase vs a standard diesel from even 3 or 4 years ago.
Making the switch is empirically better for the environment than any other option with the exception of literally scrapping that BEV inside 2 years.
You are saying that the total emissions of a new EV over a 2yr period (including manufacture and transportation) = just the emissions created by running a diesel for 2yrs?
Yeah, I'm highly sceptical of those statements too. It would have to based on the most optimal manufacturing and mining etc with carbon offsets/sequestration ect. Which probably doesn't happen in reality.
