Funny they don’t publish the assumptions made or the particulars of this study.
I am willing to bet they are full of shit.
One thing is certain as electric cars get older they get cleaner because the grid gets cleaner.
As a gasoline powered car gets older,the engine loses compression, and it gets dirtier.
My Tesla is made of aluminum. Won’t rust.
No vibrating ICE to shake the unibody into a wobbly POS.
And electric cars can be powered by any American electric source. Wind,Nuclear,Hydro, Solar, and Natural Gas.
Gasoline powered cars need petroleum. Leaving their drivers and America as whole subject to the whims of the global oil markets and dictators in the Kremlin and Saudi Arabia.
Batteries can and will be recycled and repurposed.
Used auto grade batteries are basically high grade ore.
You can’t recycle gasoline or diesel.
I guess you owe us all a "thank you" then...
Okay! so electric cars are great and will get better over time. gasoline cars will never get any better and are just marking time until they turn into unrecyclable trash. Funny though, I am getting 35 miles per gallon in my eight year old Pontiac. And tell me again why the Govt has to subsidize electric cars with $7,500 just to sell the few that does get sold.
It is good that your Tesla will run on any American electricity because my Pontiac will run on any gasoline in the whole world. Gasoline needs petroleum and electric cars needs electricity power by coal, natural gas, or some other source.
I fail to understand your logic for electric cars that is materially different from gasoline cars.
