This is a Volvo study not a political one:
When also including the Li-ion battery modules and Volvo manufacturing, the GHG emissions are nearly 70 per cent higher for the C40 Recharge compared with XC40 ICE.
Discussion
There’s also an argument for removing or perhaps a better term “relocating” the exhaust fumes (and let’s admit it, those are not great to breathe in), away from street level and out of built-up areas. Oils for lubricating an ICE are also not required. I remain on the fence though. There’s still a massive debate about what to do with the sheer number of batteries that are end of life too. Like nostr, it’s still early days but agree with one thing; I’d like to see more “pure” EVs with minimal tech.
I totally agree with you. Let the consumer figure it out not a mandate by the state
We got many other options for propulsion out there that make much more sense and are more logical than EVSs
I am hoping all of us can meet at the next nostr event to discuss in person over a beer 🍻 Text can turn to misunderstanding and conflict pretty fast :)
