How one stupid anti EV shill that can't do math put it

> 50% of lifetime CO2 emissions from an electric car come from the energy used to produce the car. This compares unfavorably with the manufacture of a gasoline-powered car which accounts for 17% of the car’s lifetime CO2 emissions.

> When a new EV appears in the show-room, it has already caused 30,000 pounds of CO2 emissions. Equivalent amount for manufacturing a conventional car is 14,000 pounds.

Which means EV is 60,000 lifetime pounds of CO2 emissions

And gasoline is 82,353 lifetime pounds of CO2 emissions

Make that 20 at best. More like 15.

Even according to their own website they did barely anything.

Guess it worked on you.

I also don't see any significant impact on coal plant retirements beyond what would normally have happened. Good timed PR move.
