The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that annual electricity transmission and distribution (T&D) losses averaged about 5% of the electricity transmitted and distributed in the United States in 2018 through 2022.

Electric vehicles were never about the environment. It’s about damaging businesses. It’s about control. It’s about POWER. And, it’s about having something to scold people about. The first electric car drivers were smug. They were saving the planet and the rest of us were horrible a$$holes just polluting THEIR world.
Now when I see an electric car I look to see if it’s smoking.

....Electric vehicles release more toxic particles into the atmosphere and are worse for the environment than their gas-powered counterparts...
Who knew?

"It found that brakes and tires on EVs release 1,850 times more particle pollution compared to modern tailpipes, which have “efficient” exhaust filters, bringing gas-powered vehicles’ emissions to new lows.Cars do NOT have "exhaust filters." Diesel vehicles DO have "diesel particulate filter (DPF)." Does the author think a catalytic converter is a particular filters?
Since gasoline engine particulate emissions are close to zero, the main comparison should be tires and brakes EV vs gasoline ICE. But the convoluted page does not get there.

It’s about control. It’s about POWER.
Exactly.
Throughout history, the driving necessity has been food. Whoever controlled the food supply, controlled the people. In the last century, for the first world, the driving necessity has been power (in the engineering sense, not the political sense), but controlling engineering power is the current means to achieve political power.
Using carbon, and in particular carbon dioxide, as a means to control power is perfect - for the tyrants. *Breathing* releases CO2, so once they establish that all CO2 emission must be controlled, they establish that all human activity must be controlled.
To that end, they need to ignore any pollution that does not release CO2, and continue to restrict anything that provides power for ordinary people. For that reason, they still won't accept nuclear power.
One of my little touch phrases is: Hybrid cars are for people who are bad at math. Electric cars are for people who are bad at science. (Or for people who want to rigid, authoritarian control over the decisions made by the vast, 'unenlightened' masses.)

Science and logic don’t apply in the Biden Regime. Mandates that fatten his bank accounts and appease the Loony Left are all that matter.

Temper tantrums and ad hominems to follow more public circulation of this study. In the mean time, it’ll be ignored.

Twenty years ago this would have been bold and useful information. Not it looks like it’s somebody joining the “piling on” of the battery-only EV’s demise.
All this same data (or essentially similar) was available 20 years ago. And none of the relevant science has changed in that time either, so what took them so long? Did they just not have the stones to speak ill of Saint Elon while he had up a full head of steam?

EVs are bad enough when they are intact, but when the batteries go into thermal runaway...
Fire not the only danger with lithium-ion batteries
When one of them starts acting up, get as far away from it as you can, as fast as you can, unless you enjoy breathing hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide.

Another sought-after electric model, Ford’s F-150 Lightning pickup truck Yeah, I'm not so sure about that. That model has a bad rep for not performing as a truck should. And I keep getting emails from my Ford dealer to buy the EV.

Ban them-—now.
Anyone who cares about the planet and climate change has to act to ban the EVs. I already heard the old dead batteries are leaking and the mining to produce new ones causes damage and pollution. /S

As heavy cars drive on light-duty tires — most often made with synthetic rubber made from crude oil and other fillers and additives — they deteriorate and release harmful chemicals into the air, according to Emission Analytics. But heavy freight trucks do more damage to road infrastructure, and their tires and brakes pollute far more than passenger vehicles. Ban all freight trucks, and go back to using rail trains to move freight. The argument about tires on EV’s is ridiculous, especially since they’re a small percentage of vehicles on the road. Might as well ban car racing events, where drivers can use up tires in a single race.
