Study finds electrifying SUVs could actually increase emissions by using up scarce battery material that could otherwise be used to electrify smaller cars and e-bikes
Study finds that letting idiots use significantly more resources than necessary for their vanity baby dick mobiles is bad for society... who would have thought?
Doubt. A car doubles it's CO2 output from manufacturing in around 3-10 years, depending on size. There's no way an SUV EV hasn't recouped the difference in manufacturing CO2 vs a gas SUV by like year 1.
The point is SUVs and large cars are using up limited resources and if it takes significantly more battery material to make a battery for a heavy car it might make more sense to prioritize smaller car manufacture.
