Excellent video as always<br>I was hoping you'd also delve into the fact that the very electricity that powers the 'gas-free' vehicles is predominantly derived from coal and diesel electrical generation.,(reply>), @Brian That electric vehicles are often viewed as some environmental savior devices and there are multiple layers of sanctimony wrapped around EVs vs regular gas cars which everyone acknowledges exactly what they are and what they do.<br>EVs, media coverage of them, and owners of them, are in a strong sense of denial as to their actual environmental impact.,(reply>), @Brian <br>He just repeating the myth that EV are more polluting that ICEV.,(reply>), And that very same generation capacity is used by oil refineries, which produce the fuel your car needs. So I'm not clear what your point was....,(reply>), @TheAstralCatastrophe <br>I actually cited my sources and even put out the facts and calculation that proves my point, but it seem YouTube algorithms decided to yeet them for some reason.,(reply>)," @TheAstralCatastrophe <br>I don't know  if posting outside link will get yeeted here  so I'm gonna just post the name of the studies:<br><br>A GLOBAL COMPARISON OF<br>THE LIFE-CYCLE GREENHOUSE<br>GAS EMISSIONS OF COMBUSTION<br>ENGINE AND ELECTRIC<br>PASSENGER CARS-  Georg Bieker at the International Council on Clean Transportation.<br><br>"Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of BEV’s environmental benefits for meeting the challenge of ICExit (Internal Combustion Engine Exit"<br><br>"Pricing indirect emissions accelerates low—carbon transition of US light vehicle sector"  This one id from Yale<br><br><br>"Environmental Benefits from Driving Electric Vehicles?" by researcher from  University of North Carolina (UNC) Greensboro", Dartmouth College, Middlebury College," and UNC Chapel Hill <br><br><br>And there are many more .<br><br>The thing you need to remember is:<br><br>A) the electric drive train is far more efficient than an ICE. Depending on the model of car ", a BEV can get  4.8 - 7.3km/ kwh  , the latter belong to the Model 3 (Tesla tend to be on the higher end of the efficiency curve) which gives it the minimum of 105g/km to as low as 70g/km (Tesla Model 3)  of CO2 if it only uses coal (abased on your number of coal emission)  . In contrast the typical ICE have an emission rating of around 120-over 200g/km .Some older models (one produce in the decades 2010s) even goes higher  than 400g/km .<br><br>B)The cost would also  need to account for  the power need to distribute the fossil fuel(gasoline and diesel) and maintenance(oil change, components like valve timing belt etc) through the vehicle's lifetime . <br><br>C)The energy grid is getting cleaner very day. For example today 25% of all electricity produced in the US is generated by renewables.
