> This is why, in the US, it takes around 28,069-68,160 miles before an EV is actually less polluting than an ICE vehicle.

It's one year for an EV to become equal to an ICE vehicle in total carbon impact.

Maybe try linking to reputable research and not something produced by an undergraduate student who says stupid shit like "....and families typically sell their cars before then!" ...yeah and where do you think the car goes? Car Heaven? Of course not. The average age of a passenger car in the US is twelve years old.

"Well AKSHUALLLLLLY" comments like yours trying to "gotcha" efforts to improve carbon impact and efficiency are not helping things. Stop being part of the problem, start being part of the solution.
