1.8 Million Barrels of Oil a Day Avoided from Electric Vehicles::Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News! We love covering electric … [continued]
How the fuck do you people think these electric vehicles are powered?
Depends where you are. In the US as a whole (so this varies heavily state-to-state), about 60% fossil fuels
In France, about 6% fossil fuels.
And it looks like even if the car is charged partly by fossil fuels the power generation for an electric car is cleaner than running a gas car in 95% of the world.
I appreciate you coming with the numbers.
I would have to dig to find it, but I remember reading years ago in a Car and Driver article that EV’s powered by even the dirtiest coal power plants will still return around 30 MPGe, which is better than most vehicles on the road today.
Granted that article was from before the Hummer EV, so I’m sure that number will have changed somewhat.
I dont understand. What is your point? Is it that having an extra 1.8 million barrels burned is good? Is it that Power Plant + ICE cars is cleaner than Power Plant - ICE cars? Hiw is it that you people keep getting hopping mad every time progress is made? What do you gain? Why do your feefees get hurt? What is the big “gotcha” that you keep trying to make?
Don’t bother. Reading, logic and facts are not their strong point.
As you’ve seen they just lie and say something back which you clearly didn’t mean and continue to live in the ignorance bubble they have created for themselves.
It does no good to try to explain anyway. When you explain that mining all the shit that goes into making the batteries for these cars, it completely offsets whatever exaggerated gain they make. Not only that, but the incredible human cost as well. But you just go ahead and feel good about yourself and your shitty “green” cars.
Sounds like you need to go huff some exhaust
Telling someone to go kill themselves… stay classy Lemmy.
No, telling someone to further indulge in their fossil fuel fetish.
hurry, backpedal!
No EVs! More exhaust!
Today I learned Iron and steel grows on trees
wtf?
Apparently only materials for electric cars are mined
let’s just continue to exploit entire continents of people though right? i mean if it makes YOUR neighborhood “green” it’s ok to ignore all that.
Since all you’re doing is whining like a little hippie shit and presenting nothing to support your case then no I don’t give a fuck about anything you have to say about it. So far all I know is that you’re just making this up as you go along. You really are awful at this, and it’s no surprise that you don’t get any support.
🤣

That’s the way most people look at it.
