Anyway, to reiterate as it got lost in Wyzz Kydd's attempts to talk with the adults all these "electric cars are more polluting than ICE" arguments are based on using fossil fuels for energy generation, this isnt the case in most countries and by 2030 will be even fewer.
I work in aviation and while electric development is going full speed there hydrogen, potentially augmented with solar seems to be the future, whatever it is fossil fuels are effectively dead technology. |
Just an FYI, I spent years managing a major bank’s portfolio of loans to the telecommunications and energy industry. I’m quite qualified to ‘talk with the adults.’
I want to point out one very, very wrong statement you’ve made, then I’m done discussing this subject because it’s clear to me that the woke folks on this thread don’t want to hear or acknowledge any evidence that conflicts with conclusions they have already made. You stated that most countries DON’T use fossil fuels to generate energy. That’s to support your contention that EV’s are ‘cleaner’ than ICE vehicles.
Currently 80% of worldwide energy generation is from fossil fuels. That number comes from a ‘green’ organization.

Enough with the insults. You may work in aviation and may well be a very smart person, but you’re flat wrong.
Edited to add, the biggest obstacle to dreams of an EV only future can be expressed in a single word. Scalability. None of the auto manufacturers are anywhere close to being able to manufacture the volume of EVs needed to meet global demand for automobiles, and they never will be absent a revolution in storage.
