Why EVs Aren't a Climate Change Panacea

Cars That Think

In states (or countries ) with a high proportion of coal-generated electricity, the miles needed to break-even climb more. The San Diego backlash over a mileage tax may be just the beginning. In Poland and China, for example, an EV would need to be driven 78,700 miles to break-even.
