Looking at the Big Picture or analyzing the entire situation at hand will tend to give you a better opportunity for a satisfactory solution!

The following Article below on emissions:

Electric Vehicles in Germany Emit More Carbon Dioxide Than Diesel Vehicles
JUNE 10, 2019

BY IER

This is an argument I have studied and discussed with others - having worked in Calif at various times! It comes down to the total cost which is hidden and confused with the Electric car calculations - looking at total lifetime costs! - A different study from the Union of Concerned Scientists found that depending on the type of plug-in being built, manufacturing a battery-powered car generates 15 percent to 68 percent more carbon dioxide emissions than a conventional gasoline-powered car because of the energy intensity of manufacturing batteries.

Conclusion

The above studies indicate that the terminology “zero-emission” is a misnomer when referring to electric vehicles. Also, lawmakers should be cautious about subsidizing electric vehicles when their electricity is generated mainly by fossil fuels because they are not lowering the carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles by doing so. The old saying that “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” may well apply to many of the gimmicks and workarounds advocated by whatever group is popular with a political and media elite at any given time. Germany’s lessons should be a case study for political leaders everywhere.

Some thirty years ago, I had this conversation -a Local Calif guy was bragging on how fuel-efficient his new electric car was!

Since I have been an electrical engineer working in {UPS} uninterruptible power supply systems - I understood the full impact!
I explained that yes, while his electric battery-powered car produced Low or non-emission gases {quiche} free sitting in his driveway; but somewhere there was a huge Coal power plant belching tons of gases to allow him to charge his car! Since the permanent shutdown of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in 2013. Now the only other Nuke Power station is Diablo Canyon Power Plant due to shut down in 2024-2025!


** BTW: before working with UPS - I used to work on Nuke Power Plants! But big money is driving this bus so don't get in the way or they will run you over! But who cares?


Another thing about Batteries {Which I have worked with for over 20 years} plus info from one of my sons who is a Fireman - here are some more facts to consider!

Batteries are dangerous :
This is not a total coverage on larger DC battery systems and or controls - only some experience over the past 30 some odd years!


1) due to the corrosive materials used in them.


2) They are dangerous electrically due both to the voltages plus their heavyweights which is over 700 Lbs per cubic foot! - while water is approx 62 Lbs.


3) More important is their fire danger { I have seen the result of 2 battery string fires over hot very fast plus they are difficult to put out or control - One at Univ of Miami and The IRS in Atl both were BAD}.


4) The electrical cars pose another danger for fire and rescue workers when there has been a wreck due to having to cut people out of the car because of the heavy high voltage electrical cables in the car.


5) In fact, just saw an article on how especially dangerous they are requiring hours and tonnes of water to cool down the fire!


6) The cost of replacing all the Batteries in an electrical car is in the thousands of dollars. - I just thought you might like to know! So when you get your annual checkup sometime remember the battery cost replacement several thousand dollars!

True life is based upon the real facts - not the desirable elements which are often put out!

Anything in the world can be managed if and when it is handled through proper channels and has been engineered properly - ongoing oversight!

P.S. This is where we are with monitored and controlled both Nuclear weapons and NASA over the past over 50 years!
