If Britain switches all cars to electric, it may actually increase emissions. An EV has to travel 50,000+ miles to break even with an ICE car. That number is growing, not shrinking. But batteries last about 60,000 miles. dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…
@mattwridley An EV has to travel for ~1 year to break even with an ICE car. Less than that in Europe.
@mattwridley Battery degrades by 12% after 200,000 miles of usage.
@MartinViecha @SawyerMerritt @mattwridley Advertise this. Don’t just tweet it
@MartinViecha @mattwridley This is why Tesla needs to do educational advertising because people still believe this nonsense in 2023.
@MartinViecha @mattwridley I’ve been going 60k miles in my Tesla. There’s probably been a few % battery degradation, but it is not noticeable. They’ve got a lot more miles left
@MartinViecha @mattwridley Thank you for everything that you do Martin. Can’t be easy. 😮💨
@MartinViecha @mattwridley @ICannot_Enough Can you take the same data and create another chart to tell this important story?
@MartinViecha @SawyerMerritt @mattwridley Do these statistics ever include the emissions that come from oil mining, refining, and transportation to supply the gas stations? Why not consider what goes in and what comes out. The electric grid or residential solar to car energy distribution is emissions free.
@MartinViecha @mattwridley He's not interested in the truth he's just trolling his Tesla hatred (and jealousy)
@MartinViecha @truth_tesla @mattwridley And that's just the CO2 part of the problem. A lot of local air pollution avoided too.
