Can Electric vehicles still be considered environmentally friendly when the factories they are made in still produce emissions?
Can Electric vehicles still be considered environmentally friendly when the factories they are made in still produce emissions?
There has been a lot of research into this, and very roughly speaking by the time an EV has done 25K miles it is environmentally more friendly than an ICE, and every mile after that makes it more so.
That 25K number will continue to come down as more electricity production shifts to renewables.
