I’ve seen a lot of posts here on Lemmy, specifically in the “fuck cars” communities as to how Electric Vehicles do pretty much nothing for the Climate, but I continue to see Climate activists everywhere try pushing so, so hard for Electric Vehicles.

Are they actually beneficial to the planet other than limiting exhaust, or is that it? or maybe exhaust is a way bigger problem?

    Regulated Emissions and Energy Use in Technologies (GREET) model

    Wasn’t that the fun model where they ignored the emissions of producing the vehicle?

      GREET is broken into 2 models; GREET1 which is just about the use of the vehicle, and GREET2 which is just about the manufacturing of the vehicle.

        Thanks for the info. Do you know which combination was used to derive the number in the article?
