When Does an Electric Vehicle Become Cleaner Than a Gas Car? | EV vs Gas Life-Cycle Emissions

Описание: Electric vehicles often face the criticism that they’re “just as bad” for the environment because of battery mining and manufacturing emissions. But according to a new ICCT (International Council on Clean Transportation) study from Europe, the reality is clear: EVs become cleaner than gasoline cars in just 1–2 years of driving — and over their lifetime, they produce 66–69% lower emissions.

In this episode, David from EV World News and founder Bill Moore break down the data, bust myths about EV pollution, and share real-world efficiency numbers from a Chevrolet Bolt, Lucid, and Rivian. They discuss:

How battery production impacts life-cycle emissions

Why EV efficiency improves at lower speeds

Miles-per-gallon equivalent (MPGe) comparisons for popular EVs

Why mining for EV materials is small compared to global iron and oil extraction

How future battery recycling and lighter designs will further reduce emissions

If you’ve ever heard “EVs are worse for the planet,” this discussion gives you the facts you need.
