Electric cars pollute 1,850 times more than fuel-based vehicles

A 2022 study found that electric vehicles (EVs) which left-leaning governments in Canada, the United States, and elsewhere are pushing on the population, pollute at a rate far higher than their gasoline or diesel-powered counterparts.
The 2022 study from the U.K.-based Emissions Analytics group found that during a 1,000 mile journey, EVs release 1,850 times more pollutants into the surrounding environment than gas-powered vehicles, due to the heavier weight which eats through tires.

While many think of emissions from exhaust, tire wear plays a significant role in emitting pollutants. The synthetic rubber used to create tires include certain chemicals that get released into the air, and because EVs are significantly heavier than conventional cars due to massive lithium batteries.

Overall, EVs weigh about 30 percent more than gas-powered vehicles, and cost thousands more to make and buy. These issues are in addition to the fact that they are not suitable in colder climates (such as Canada and the northern U.S.), offer poor range and long charging times (especially in cold weather), and have batteries that take tremendous resources to make and are hard to recycle.

Both the government of Canada under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the government of the United States under President Joe Biden are hoping to ban, or severely limit, the sale of new gasoline-powered cars after 2035 despite these deficiencies. The EU (European Union) also has an EV mandate in place for the same year.

This is what I've been telling everybody for years. Electric cars are not cleaner than gasoline and diesel powered cars.

The whole electric car scam is designed to force citizens out of private transportation and into public transportation. Step A is to force everybody into electric cars by claiming it's necessary because gasoline and diesel powered cars are too dirty. Step B is to spring the revelation on us that electric cars are too dirty, so cars must be banned altogether.

Bullshit like this is what you get when you put Democrats/Marxists/Socialists/Communists in office.

Thankfully, the backlash is winning.

Well, it's not an all or nothing issue. Electric has it's place. We've had golf carts for years. And the hybrids seem to work well. My nephew has one and really likes it. It's more expensive though.
