[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IEEE did a study on this a few years back. Because the batteries use "rare earth" minerals mined and processed in China - with the electric power largely coming from coal power plants - the lifecycle carbon footprint was actually higher than for a fuel efficient car. [/quote] The EPA says the emissions from an EV are lower than a gas car long term, even when accounting for the battery mining and charging.[/quote] Given a choice between believing IeEE's scientific experts or believing the government, I will pick the scientific experts every time. IEEE is more reliable than EPA, but thank you for playing. [/quote]
