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.

Show me an ICE car with a 10 L gas tank.

Exactly! ICE cars will easily travel much further much quicker than electric cars as of now. Try driving 1000km with both

China now has MW chargers that can replenish 400km in 5 minutes. Plug it in whenever you take a piss and you wouldn’t even notice the battery dropping.
