I could be wrong, but I thought the whole idea of EV's and pollution was a containment issue. ICE vehicle's are relatively clean burning now, but still spew what pollution they have all over the place. Assuming non renewable energy is creating the electricity for charging EV's, it is at least it is in one place and is a lot easier contain or control.
Are they Bank Robbers ?Way before Al Qaeda or Isis.
Among other things.
Originally the justification for the EV push was to meet international agreements about emissions, so the gummint was throwing out a lot of subsidy money. Things have changed now that the price of batteries has fallen close to 90% and it can cost less to make an EV than ICE vehicle. Unfortunately the cost of basic labor and materials has risen enough that both are beyond what more and more people can afford. (Like eggs and bread)
Apparently, the state of Texas thinks the same way. Of our 254 counties, only 17 have emissions testing. I guess they think that our perpetual South wind isn't going to blow the "bad air" out of one county into the next. And all the pollution knows to stay in its own county.
It was always my understanding that EVs were expected to save the planet since those nasty ICEVs were causing global warming.
Yup. Below are some of what the UN agreements were based in as the need to reduce emissions.It was always my understanding that EVs were expected to save the planet since those nasty ICEVs were causing global warming.
But in the end, I have the electric car because it fits for most of my needs and is saving me a LOT of money.
Looking at the spike around WW2 we should be doing better preventing wars.Yup. Below are some of what the UN agreements were based in as the need to reduce emissions.

That should be the only determining factor(s) for people choosing them. No mandates.
I don't know. WWI and Vietnam look like low spikes. And between mustard gas, napalm and agent orange, I would have expected higher levels. Even when Sadam was burning his oil wells looks like a low phase.
I think WW2 was so much bigger and alot of fossil fuels were burned just making the weapons of war. It was war on an industrial scale.
