Electric Cars Indirectly Emit Much Less Carbon Than Previously Reported

In other words, electric cars would indirectly emit much less carbon and other gases than previous studies based on six main mistakes they made.
In 2019, that study was updated and lowered its estimate of carbon dioxide emitted in battery manufacturing from 175 kg/kWh to 87 kg/kWh. That alone reduced GHG emissions in half.
The second mistake in establishing EVs’ carbon footprint is an underestimation of battery packs’ lives. The same studies we mentioned before believe EVs have an average lifespan of 150,000 km (93,200 mi).
..., the Dutch report estimates the current electric car life in 250,000 km. And it will improve quickly.
The third mistake is assuming that the power grid will always be as dirty as when each EV hit the road for the first time. The truth is that it is getting cleaner.
.... (čtyřka je o nevhodnosti NEDC testu pro EV nebo co)
The fifth error they point out makes perfect sense. If people calculate how much carbon dioxide battery manufacturing emits, why not calculate how much is of it is generated when breaking oil down into its derivatives?
The Dutch researchers calculated you’d have to add 30 percent more emissions to any car that uses gasoline and 24 percent more to the ones on diesel solely on the distillation process. That said, GHG emissions per liter are 3,140 g for the former and 3,310 g for the latter.

Takže můžeme prosím přestat říkat, že EV nejsou ekologičtější než ICE? :-)
ano, udržování 20 starého Audi 2 v provozu je ekologičtější než koupě nové Tesly MX, ale to je okrajový případ. Když prostě auto chcípne a jde se pořizovat nové, tak radši elektro Konu než naftový ekvivalent
