Unless all EV's get powered by a electric grid via nuclear, they are. They take non-green energy to power them.

True, but it's much easier to control emissions at the source of electricity production, rather than trying to deal with emissions coming from every vehicle on the road.

The entire idea is probably control... California told people to stop plugging in their EV's. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/01/u...-charging.html The entire thing is a joke. Chemically gasoline has more power than these ancient battery technologies and it's probably safer and isn't as bad for the environment as strip mining for lithium.

the emissions savings for EVs are drastically overstated. it's about the same as the difference between a compact car and an SUV. it's there but it's not as much as you would think
reducing battery size would probably help though, most people don't really need a battery with 300+ mile range. how often do you drive 300 or more miles in a day? |
