I dunno what the author meant, but probably alluding to the fact that the electricity powering your EV comes from a plant burning fossil fuels.

I've been curious about this topic for a while: what contributes more pollution per mile traveled -- an internal combustion engine or a Tesla charged with power from a coal/gas/wind/nuclear plant. If anyone encountered an analysis like that, please link!

Depends on where you live. Electricity in BC is all hydro.

A study that emerged in the last few days says that in such scenarios in OECD countries, and including all life cycle costs, EVs generate only about 40% of the CO2 emissions of ICEs. No link at hand, sorry.

They make less noise than a bicycle
