The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier. (english.elpais.com)

What about BEV SUVs?

[-] bad_alloc@feddit.de 20 points 2 years ago

They are a lot more efficient in their class and might convince some ICE drivers to switch. Their range tends to be quite good. Unfortunately they have drawbacks:

  • They require a very large battery. If you don't find >150kW chargers, you'll be waiting a long time
  • More batteries per car = worse environmental impact from production
  • Road degradation grows by the fourth power w.r.t. vehicle weight. The big batteries make electric SUVs very heavy
  • SUVs are more dangerous for pedestrians due to their size
  • In a crash SUVs deliver much more energy, killing more people.

It comes from the same ball of gases in the sky that you apparently stared at for too long.

how do you think solar panels and batteries and electrical infrastructure are made do those come from God's ball of dicks too

People say everything is possible ? Musk, the step father of the modern EVs also said electricity would be free back in the day. Something's fishy around here.

I can make my own.. Do you make your own gas?

[-] greenmarty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I could, it's just a chemical. I watched people making fuel from plastic waste . Why?

I used to know a lady who made her own ethanol from old news papers and a still, but I get your point.
