    Well, please show me a trustworthy study of the difference between ICE and EV emissions per mile during their lifetime. The ones I’ve read always say “in their lifetime”, but they don’t take into account EV batteries need changing after about 10 years … And batteries are as we know the “big bad” of EVs. The absolutely only true comparison would be all emissions from all sources spread out over either per mile or per year. A combustion car can easily last 20 years, which isn’t really a fair comparison to the 10 years.

      Hey you made the claim in the first place, you have the burden proof. Don’t attempt to shift it.

        This article, and everying about this subject, presumes EV is better than ICE. That’s the positive claim.

        Show me the math, the studies. If it holds true, this should be easy. And, it would end the debate.

        Data trumps. If the research is so overwhelmingly in favor of EVs, let’s publish that info everywhere for people to read, study, analyze. Lots easier to convince people with the information out there, warts and all.
