The offset is not positive when you factor in the externalities that go into escalating Chinese EV production.

- golem14 8mo agoI would love to see a thorough, agreed upon study comparing ICEs and EVs. If you have hard data (say, from a reputable journal, not just the news), please post.

- golem14 8mo agothe first and last link seem less trustworthy as they seem to be affiliated with industry orgs that benefit from EVs. But link #2 seems solid, and a related search on Google Scholar points at a lot of interesting papers. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=related:B47EWn6YcDUJ:scholar.google.com/ https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=related:B47EWn6YcDUJ:sc... I looked at a few, and the overall consensus seems to be that at least EVs are not worse than ICEVs (and I suppose EVs will get efficient faster than ICEVs(. Thanks!
- dalyons 8mo agoWrong, unless you can prove otherwise. EVs cost a little more emissions to build but are widely regarded as breaking even with a gas car in 1-2years after production. And even shorter as grids decarbonize.
