I heard they cost $24,000 to $32,000 to get a new one and Lithium Ion Battery doesn't like below Zero temperature and doesn't like above 100°F temperature. When a Gas Car or ICE car is flooded there's a 90% chances that vehicle can still be saved and repair. EV however when they get flooded they are considered total wreck according to Insurance companies. They can't be saved.

I've been saying for decades "it's easier to control the emissions at a few sources vs. millions of vehicles". Anything can pass smog if you know the right people.

Over 90% of an EV battery is recyclable. This has not been taken onto account in any Gas vs EV comparison that I have seen. It would seem fair to say that an EV battery made from recycled materials would have less than half of the emissions of a new battery. The materials used for Batteries only have to mined once.

But ICE just get worse. 2,000 moving parts.

I also wonder if calculations like this attempt to account for the fact that EVs for many people can “fuel up” at home or via infrastructure that uses the electrical grid which doesn’t require moving fuel around the country or world. When you think about filling up an ICE with gas, you have oil that is extracted, then shipped to refineries (which likely uses more gas), then put on trucks to fill all the gas stations (which uses more gas), then we use more gas to drive to said stations and fill up. All of those activities create emissions too.

To generate 1 Kwh of energy for EVs, there is up to 14% transmission loss. Plus coal, gas and nuclear fuel has to be transported to do electric plant. Transmission losses are the energy lost as heat when electricity travels through wires and transformers. The amount of losses depends on the distance, voltage, resistance, and power flow of the transmission line. Transmission losses can range from 4% to 14% of the total energy generated, depending on the stage and condition of the transmission system.

That said, on the delivery side, you’re delivering those materials to far fewer destinations than gas stations. Also most natural gas power plants get fuel delivered via a pipeline. Any green energy only suffers some transmission loss as a fuel doesn’t have to be transported. Regarding efficiency losses, to be a fair comparison there are losses we should account for then in the oil extraction and refining processes as well.

You also didn’t talk about the proper disposal and recycling of EV components, like batteries. The study also made a comparison with a small ICE SUV vs a EV car. I think a Tesla Model X might be better compared to a small ICE SUV. I’d also like you to consider that many ICE vehicles are used far beyond the 173,151 miles cited in the study. While EVs are mechanically totaled by battery pack replacement costs, many ICE vehicles chug along without the same cost prohibitive repairs. The cost isn’t just in CO2 emissions, but landfill waste as well. Still an informative study, but I think it is skewed for the EV audience as it’s the most likely viewership of EV pulse.

So is the massive metal engine block and 6 speeds transmissions that EV’s DONT have. So in reality EV’s are only around 100-200kg heavier than comparable combustion cars. Certainly not enough to drastically increase tire wear. Infact most studies only found that tire wear is 5%-20% higher for EV’S. Mostly due to the lack of engine feedback allowing people to drive more aggressively without any of the contextual clues for how much more aggressive they are driving. So no.

Since gas only weighs around 6lbs per gallon, it would be hard to produce more CO2 than what the original fuel source weighs in waste. EV technology as it evolves will be the next step in serving our transportation needs for the foreseeable future. As alternative energy sources become more prevalent, they will be even more efficient cradle to grave as many people that more to solar and such will essentially be producing their own fuel at home.

Then let's not forget about the fuel for just 2 of the rigs that are needed to mine enough of the lithium. One of the machines consumes at minimum average 60-70 gallons of diesel an hour. A typical shift is around 12 hours. This would then equate to 720 gallons to 840 gallons of diesel per shift. The big dump trucks consume on the lower average around 55 to 65 gallons of diesel per hour. This would then equate to 660 gallons to 780 gallons of diesel per shift. That would be low estimate of 1,380 gallons to 1,680 gallons of diesel per shift combined. Last I read from the mining of lithium it takes a minimum of one 12-hour shift to have enough raw ore to make just one electric car battery. But no one what's to look at breaking down the actual numbers not just what CAT put's out for consumption on each of the equipment needed for this. Then let's not even talk about that there is ZERO plan to deal with the battery waist when the battery is no longer good. No recycling and I am sure they will be shipped to 3rd world countries for a fee. They will then dump them in the ocean's and barred in the ground to leach into the ground water.

How do you figure EVs only last as long as ICE, or later half as long as ICE. Evidence says that the current EVS will last twice as long as an ICE car. Not sure where I saw the co2 emission from getting the gasoline to the bars tank. You talked about it but not laid it out very well.

Hmmm, look at the environmental carrnage 500 burning EV's have caused off the Dutch coast....imagine the disaster EV's would cause in the Channel tunnel or in a highrise apartment building car park.

If you are referring to the cargo ship containing EVs which caught fire you will find if you look it up that the fire was not caused by the EVs. I would post a link but can't here.

Every time something new comes, there is resistance to change. Typical. I find an EV more comfortable than an ICE car. The EV is quieter, transmits less heat, has low maintenance, ability to charge at home, etc.

I don't believe the building of EV are that dirtier them an ice car. I'm twenty years used batteries will start being available to reprocess they won't need remaining so will be so much cleaner too manufacturer new ones. I'm the man time we have to stop burning things!

A ice car pollutes every time it’s used……total fact.

But uses the fuel in its tank and doesn't lose it. Also, ICEVs put out water vapor and CO and CO2. WVs put out ozone from motors and inverters. So tell me which one is ACTUALLY polluting. No lies...fact. Sorry about your unearned superiority complex...

No "math" is needed except on a six-grade level. EVs have many fewer parts needing much less material and labor and fabricating machinery. They can be built with less-skilled labor (which fits with our dumbed-down society.) ICE vehicles waste 70% of the gasoline burned as heat energy. The list is endless. EVs are controversial only in the political/fossil fuel arena. They will stall the demise of ECE vehicles for 50 years if given a chance - just as big tobacco stalled the demise of tobacco promotion and sales. Today, only the truly addicted smoke. Evs can be made less powerful, thus needing less battery energy (smaller batteries.) As the industry matures it will easily take the place of the ICE technology.
