• 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.

  • Just so I'm clear I understand you correctly;

    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?

    Do you have a link to those figures?

  • 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.
