Your facts are a bit off... 35-40 KWh per 100 mile is a bit of upper end of consumption. Also, catalytic converter does not reduce CO2. On contrary it creates more CO2 by ensuring that no CO or CHx (unburned fuel) is emitted. Also electric grid becomes cleaner, while ICE does not. Checl Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory energy flow graphs. They show that around 60 percent of energy in US is wasted. Converting fleet to EV would reduce that waste by 30 percent even if you would need to build more power plants.
EVs are great, I never said they were bad or something. I mean that we should uuderline the importance of power generation turning green and sustainable rather than blaming int. combustion engines for everything bad on this planet. Power generation convertion will make the difference.
@@DmitrySapko here in Tasmania we have been using 99%+ green energy for over 60 years. ICE have been spewing out pollution for that entire time, but ev's do not. 1Kw of electricity here does not produce virtually any co2, so an ev does not produce 15 - 20kg of co2 per 100 miles. My point is that I get so annoyed with generalisation. It makes people everywhere feel that there is no point trying, when, in some areas, people are already doing a great job without even knowing it.
just stop burning fosil fuels for electricity ... and even if not EVs aint an issue, large scale energy production in a power plant simple is more efficient then producing and running billions of tiny combustion engines. As for cars ending up on the scrap yards .. people need to realize recycling exists. All these excuses to not turn to EVs are just a refusal to do the necessary investments out of greed and pushing cost/damages onto future generations instead ... has nothing to do with EVs not being green, thats just nonsense.
I agree and I never said I was against EVs or something. One of my 2 vehicles is electric. The video is rather about ridiculous emission control nonsense and lie we keep getting from all sides.
@@DmitrySapko my comment was directed at the general refusal of EVs going on and these farfetched out of context arguments as to why an EV wouldnt be greener. For example that common ressource mining argument, as if an EV would need constant mining of lithium and would consume it in operation instead of giving it back again when the battery is replaced. That the switch would come with some not so green setbacks is unavoidable, but these are just temporary damages which are easily compensated over time as soon as the switch is done. The longer people push that switch into the future, by for example saying that scrapping of a car or our electricity production isnt green, the more damage is done overall. Given that its rather helpful that emission regulations are killing fosil fuel cars faster, alltho I doubt the impact is as noteworthy as you implied.

Sorry, Here in the USA we fix this problem..
We got Trump ..
God Bless You All...
30,000 Km oil change ! Some low mileage drivers wouldn't do that in five years.
