Original Note:
NNN EVs are more efficient. https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy23osti/84631.pdf Original note doesn't address the post's claims and even contradicts its own source about CO₂e lifetime emissions. https://earth.org/environmental-impact-of-battery-production claims lifetime emissions of a gasoline car is 24t vs a BEV's 19t (fossil fuel grid). Also, fossil fuel mining is worse. https://medium.com/greener-together/reasons-why-mining-rare-earth-minerals-is-less-destructive-than-drilling-for-fossil-fuels-1a910ed0c909 https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/how-does-environmental-impact-mining-clean-energy-metals-compare-mining-coal-oil-and-gas
