Electric Cars Dirtier Than Conventional Fuel Cars
In
a recent IEEE Spectrum story titled, "Unclean
at Any Speed," Ozzie Zehner contends based on research that electric
cars don't solve the automobile's environmental problems. After factoring
in the big picture from beginning to end of production of the vehicle,
its battery pack, and the charger, the inefficiencies of electric power
production and distribution, and battery change-out and disposal, even
reaching break-even is questionable. Mr. Zehner, BTW, is a convert from
the EV church of true believers, having even built his own e-car decades
ago when doing so would more likely elicit strange looks than entranced
gazes of fawning approval. He changed sides after extensive research
suggested maybe the numbers were being manipulated in order to advance
an agenda. The impetus to "go green" with autos has more to do with
a need to feel good about one's self than reality. That said, I'd gratefully
accept a donation of a
Tesla
Roadster any day.
