Original Note:
Electric Vehicles produce lower lifetime emissions than equivalent combustion engine vehicles, even with the worst case electricity source (coal). The advantage is much larger for average energy source mix, and even more so for many grids with most/all clean energy. https://electricautonomy.ca/2021/07/26/gas-vs-ev-lifetime-emissions-icct/ https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/are-electric-vehicles-definitely-better-climate-gas-powered-cars
