The only reason the climate is changing is we are still exiting the latest ice age. But for the purposes of discussion, IC cars emit hydrocarbons. How will you charge E-cars without hydrocarbons at the generating source?
Please don’t tell me wind or solar. Those sources won’t provide 5% of the necessary electricity.

@TheDisciplinarian “Okay, could be better” is not a formula for eight billion people in a developed culture. And I’m smart enough not to fall for the crap you’ve swallowed.

Electric cars make up a tiny portion of the automotive fleet even in rich countries like America. Around the world in places where the infrastructure isn't so built up, it may be decades before electric cars become even a blip on the radar.
Also, while cars and such certainly contribute to the climate change problem, the major contributors are more likely industrial polluters and such. Until those sources are addressed, I don't think the car thing is going to make much of a dent.

No! I think the phrase is either 'pissing in the wind' or 'locking the door after the horse has bolted' either way, will not make the slightest difference in the grand scheme of things. It's a necessity though if for no other reason than we wont have fossil fules in 100 years time, so need to figure out how to keep cars running somehow.
Sadly, the best days of the car are behind us and fading fast

No. It wasn't supposed to. You think Elon Musk doesn't understand that electric cars aren't mass transit with pedestrian friendly cities?
You think the the government doesn't know that we will kill the ecosystem this way?
I doubt they're killing the ecosystem by accident. It's not like people would want to talk honestly about it! Some of them must be getting off on it

@Baremine you may be mistaken E cars often use way less parts and except for the batteries,, last long and way more powerful if that is an issue
excitment? that is not my transportation goal.
lots to perfect as yes, but ultimately a more robust tech
[quote]he more technology the more problems and failures.[/quote]
the same was true with gas cars.you seem to be of an age when gettin 80,000 miles on a car was wild and unheard of
now we get cars yes gas,, tht oftne exceed 300 000 I just WISH those were American cars most of those are japan's, ( some made right here in the us)

@Baremine agreed about the computers
now that rabbit diesel? it and the pickup they made was awesome my dad STILL has his, tho kind retired it
we CAN make good cars in the US honda vw, subaru all do this
but detroit dont make many cars now
alll "light trucks". like one care each for GM and ford
more profits being exempt from may safety standards
rented a toyota e car wes smooth an effective
GM was going to lead the world on this. even got behind a gret battery from an American inventor
then they sold the rights to Toyota..who broke into the US market wiht that
watch "who killed the electic car"
yes biased, but factual

@scorpiolovedeep EV battery replacement: $20,000. Maybe more.

No... it doesnt even slow it down
Where does that Energy come from for those batteries
To start
The producing of lithium most batteries use is Very Harmful
As are many other products used
Yet
Biggest issue is the making the power used for these electric cars
Still produced by coal..gas etc
And done so on high demade..
Further Stressing the Power Grid
If though
You have your Own Hydro..wind and or solar system
That can run your home and charge yiur cars
While Not having to hook to the main Grid
Then Maybe Ok
Though
We still need design far better batteries and or super capasiters
Then
Maybe we can talk

Depends upon the carbon footprint of the power source charging the car. Assuming that most utility companies are switching to non-carbon, sustainable sources, and that most charging will occur at home during non-peak hours when the utility companies are having to use less of their fossil fuel sources -- yes.

{@pikminboy] 🤷♂️by what the experts say me be a little late in the day but if it cuts down fuel emissions perhaps the game is not over yet for mankind
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
Do people realize how much electricity is produced today by burning fossil fuels. The information is readily available, I'm not going to repeat it.

In the Bible, book of revelation it talks about global warming. The Lord is coming back soon. Be prepared to meet your creator who so many of you don't believe exists.

@smileylovesgaming why not? details please.. I am investigated this issue
