The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier. (english.elpais.com)

The EV fans tip toe around the fact that not only do they suck the life out of the electric grid, which they fight every step of the way when power co's want to produce more power , especially nuclear which is as clean as it gets, but that the lithium batteries are incredibly toxic and can't be recycled. Same goes for the off the chart levels of toxicity that comes from solar panels which dont live long.
