Putting the cart before the horse.
About 20% came from renewables. It makes no sense if 61% of electric cars require fossil fuels at the generator sites to power them. Shouldn't we be finding alternative methods of generating electric before we add to the already overburdened fossil fueled grid systems?
Seems to me we're jumping the gun before the technology is available to live up to the claims made by probably those who stand to gain by false promises. Not to mention many of the materials required to produce these batteries can create more toxicity then fossil fuels. Also consider electric prices have risen more sharply the fuel prices. After spending the $60,000+ for these vehicles it certainly doesn't make it more economical for buyers.
good advice
ReplyDeleteMy view is that electric is our future, but not yet. Depending on the size of the battery, you have to drive an ev between 100-400k miles before there are less overall emissions. What does make sense is the hybrid, which does end up emitting less pollutants. I can afford neither.
