Study finds EVs quickly overcome their energy-intensive build to be cleaner than gas cars - Lemmy.zip
>The study also estimated that gas-powered vehicles cause at least twice as much
environmental damage over their lifetimes as EVs, and said the benefits of EVs
can be expected to increase in coming decades as clean sources of power, such as
solar and wind, are brought onto the grid.
I was most shocked when I learned it was about a gallon and a half of energy (okay energy transfer isn’t 100%, maybe 2.5 gallons of energy) to fill an electric car battery, that can then travel hundreds of miles.
Just like efficient ice cars…
Kindly point out which standard build ICE cars are getting 100+ mpg?
Not a car, but a Kawasaki KLR650 that runs on diesel got 100 mpg or close to it. Dollar for dollar, my Bolt EUV beats my old Sportster on miles per dollar though. When I talk about my EV to others, it’s always what I lead with; not even my motorcycle could beat my EV in efficiency.
