Original Note:
Studies show that EVs produce substantially lower lifetime carbon emissions than combustion engine vehicles, even when powered by the worst case energy source (coal). EVs are 77-100% efficient at using stored energy, versus 12-30% for gasoline engines. https://theicct.org/publication/a-global-comparison-of-the-life-cycle-greenhouse-gas-emissions-of-combustion-engine-and-electric-passenger-cars/ https://www.motortrend.com/news/evs-more-efficient-than-internal-combustion-engines/ https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/atv.shtml https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/atv-ev.shtml
