I can't get past the awful animated guy

You're probably not familiar enough with the office workplace then. This is like every joke rolled into one.

Don't give me that much credit I'm just reading the units of measure the car gives me

Should I give it in terms of inverse Newtons, squared seconds per kilogram-meter? That would be a proper SI reduction for ya :P

I2P is still around? I remember experimenting with it a decade ago. Sounds like it's still a slow experience.

A gallon of gas contains 33.7 kWh of energy.

ICE sedans get on average 31.7 miles per gallon, which is 0.94 miles per kWh.

Most electric SUVs get 3-4 miles per kWh depending on temperature and driving conditions. Electric sedans get 4-5 miles per kWh.

You may generally dislike SUVs, but those Electric SUVs are still a far cry better than the gas sedans you're giving a pass.

Just Google it, the advice you always hear when the other person is shutting down any more conversation. What an unfortunate result

They're also very well crafted to force the narrative down one narrow, black-and-white path.

I bet they could get the Democrats' help! All they have to do is nominate a Democrat for Speaker. What a beautiful opportunity for bipartisanship!

...wait that's not what they meant?

Which, over the lifetime of the car, is still a win environmentally. Modern cars are estimated to last for 200k miles, and electric vehicles are believed capable of enduring for 300k miles (although most models are too new to really prove that with data).

Good point. I was referring to analyses I read that were calculating the carbon footprint specifically. Apologies for using vague language.

EVs start their life with a higher environmental burden than ICE vehicles, but the math comes out so that the burden becomes lower after between 15k-20k miles.

By the end of life of an EV, they are more eco friendly than an ICE vehicle of similar build.
