Electric cars are cool. But are they the best choice if you want to reduce green house gases to cut global warming? Are battery electric vehicles (BEV) really much better for the environment than internal combustion engine (ICE) cars?
A lot of people think so, but questions could be asked. When EV's are re-charged, what source provides the electricity? If the source is fossil fuel, is there any advantage over ICE cars?
"Battery electric vehicles are a rare case of a product which is both substantially more expensive with significantly worse performance than the technology it is supposed to replace."
I don't know if the energy trade-off is worthwhile; I'm still asking questions.
