2/ The energy used in the mining ecosystem, oil, coal, and natural gas, means that 1 EV has a carbon debt equal to emitting between 8 and 20 tons of CO2 before its first mile driven. Realistic scenarios could lead to EVs emitting more total CO2 than conventional cars over life

@MenthorQpro Volkswagen has always been known to calculate diesel emissions precisely

@hubriskets Lol

@MenthorQpro Hydrogen is the future.. eletric cars are for pussies lol

@MenthorQpro it is well known.

@MenthorQpro Nothing new, Professor @HansWernerSinn came to similar conclusion in his study few years ago

@MenthorQpro @joemama48072123 You lost me at VW They have 0 credibility

@MenthorQpro Why am I not surprised? And governments are subsidiizing EVs to the tune of billions of dollars while running deficits.

@MenthorQpro After roughly how many miles would an electric car's battery need to be changed, and how might that change the equation?

@MenthorQpro This also does not include the environmental impact of lithium mining and the disposal of the car and spent batteries.

@MenthorQpro 1/ How much does a diesel emit? How much does the EV emit by being charged with electricity that is produced with fossil fuels? My point is: by just asking these two questions this picture is complete out of context and nothing but a socialist dream.

@MenthorQpro perchè usare i cari e vecchi idrocarburi quando puoi creare pacchi batteria generando voragini megagalattiche e danneggiare l'ambiente per poi dire a tutti: "hey sono green emissionihhh zerohhh!!"

@MenthorQpro This does not include the CO2 needed to upgrade the electric grid and generator capacity to support the EV's. Need to double the electric grid to replace ICE autos. Not including semi trucks.

@MenthorQpro This is a BMS (battery management system) for a 43 volt 10amp ebike battery I opened up to see what size batteries were in there. It had 12 21700 cells instead of 18650 cells. 18650 is 18mm in diameter by 650mm long, the size of AA battery. Rechargeable batteries come with BMS

@MenthorQpro I didn't think child labour emitted much C02 mining EV minerals. Surely child labour is low on emissions compared to Western mining practises. You need to revise your workings
