The fundamental green attribute of an EV is its ability to provide personal mobility without producing tailpipe emissions, delivering an unprecedented climate benefit even after accounting for all of its life-cycle emissions. Unfortunately, our intuitive concepts about CO2 conflict with our scientific appraisal of its harmfulness.
