I did some back of the envelope calculations last year when I bought a car. I found that the total CO2 emissions of a traditional versus electric vehicle would be around the same— of course the fuel efficiency and annual mileage tips the comparison in favor of the EV. But not in a zero emissions kind of way.

It’s simply best not to drive a car, or at least drive much less, and purchase well maintained, used vehicles to avoid manufacturing emissions.

What really soured me was when I learned about the plans to dredge the ocean floor for rare earth deposits to make batteries. A total spoiling of the environment for “clean” fuel IMO

On the plus side, hydrogen engines sound promising.

The advice I got from old-school environmentalists was the best: buy a small car, keep it for thirty years, and avoid long commutes if possible.

The average person drives 12kmi/yr. Cutting that and keeping cars for decades would do more than EVs ever have.
