Your post is still just speculation based on personal understanding. I can claim every word of it is wrong and be just as credible.
Are you going to post an actual study comparing the manufacturing costs? You made the claim first, so you get to do the work first.
Yea but we both know you wont, because your just as credible. It's a fact that it you average ev has twice the carbon footprint of a ice car, and takes 3 years roughly to offset its carbon emissions assuming 15k miles driven a year. At 10 years, carbon footprint of an ice car is roughly double that of the ev, but from 10 years on your subject to battery failure and now need to dispose of a big nasty battery pack and replace it. It will take a few decades to see what the true footprint of evs are, and there is no published studies with the long term effects because we haven't gotten there yet. This is the closest thing I found upon a brief search, so fesrlst yer eyes on a graph. Keep in mind that's based off a Nissan leaf and fiat 500, you could choose a more economical car with smaller footprint and a larger footprint ev to skew results in my favor, or compare the leaf to a truck or whatever ur average American drives and steer the conversation towards evs but I think it's a reasonable apple to apples comparison. This whole conversation has been speculation and I thank you for ur engagement 👍 https://www.factcheck.org/2024/02/electric-vehicles-contribute-fewer-emissions-than-gasoline-powered-cars-over-their-lifetimes/
