You literally admitted near the end just how overblown this whole thing is, this whole trend lately of "OMG electric vehicles are evil and literally killing the planet" articles that are going around left and right, when you cited that a Tesla Model 3 (high range version with largest battery!) only creates 65% more pollution/carbon emissions than a RAV-4. And that's the exception to the rule, that's a worst case scenario, since most folks are NOT buying the high-range versions of EVs. According to the stats the majority buy the base models. (And yes the RAV-4 is an SUV but it's actually fairly energy efficient and green for an ICE SUV, so there are far worse cars to pick.) And yet after that you end off with "You watching with your Tesla right now, you're not saving the planet."<br><br>I mean I get your point and your video and data are all good actually (certainly compared to SOME of the articles I've seen)," but you don't need to be so alarmist with your presentation as it was throughout the video.<br><br>I think the responsible thing to do is actually to encourage people to <b>buy used.</b> Manufacturing is just dirty in general", and a car is a big product with a big impact. Even buying an ICE car is quite damaging to the environment to manufacture, and there are also various rare earth metals that go into many of the parts of it. Only difference is that you aren't doing anything to offset that manufacturing impact by driving it, whereas with an EV or plug-in hybrid, even on the US average grid (far from perfect but MUCH better than global average renewability wise), you are and you WILL go into the positive well within the vehicle's lifetime. So from a perspective of a new car an EV or hybrid is of course better.<br><br>But if you buy a used ICE car you're still contributing to helping the environment just by engaging in reduce, reuse, recycle! And by buying a used EV you are making an even <b>BIGGER</b> difference. That battery pack is being used to it's full potential now, most used EVs will be well into their "carbon positive" phase of life, and who cares if there's a slight amount of range reduction (there was not even a single mile of observed range reduction on mine after buying it at &gt;50k miles btw). Charging on renewable sources is even better, but don't feel bad for using the grid. Trust me, our grid is actually pretty good (and YES," it WILL grow to handle the increasing demand of future EV charging.)<br><br>Aside from this", you should also just generally make use of public transit or personal transport like bikes where possible.
