Comparing Internal Combustion Vehicles to EVs Requires Honesty

Here’s a meme whose purpose is to bash EVs, using a combination of lies and half-truths.

Scientists have been conducting “well to wheels” studies that compare EVs to internal combustion engines since the late 20th Century and have concluded that EVs have a large advantage that is growing with each year. A few facts:

Extreme low-carbon energy sources that contribute to our grid-mix include nuclear, solar, wind, and hydro.

The most conscientious EV owners charge their cars by overbuilding the solar PV arrays on their rooftops.

The amount of diesel that goes into our grid and charging our EVs is almost zero.

The number of coal-fired power plants in the United States has fallen roughly in half in the 15 years since 2GreenEnergy was launched.
