Rivian CEO issues strong statement about people who purchase gas-powered cars: ‘Sort of like building a horse barn in 1910’::“I don’t think I would have believed it.”

It would be like burning coal to make the electricit…oh
Even if an EV is 100% powered by coal power plants, it would still produce 40% less Co2 per kilometer than an ICE.
ICE are just that inefficient.
If the EV was powered by 100% solar panels, that would rise to 90% less Co2 per kilometer.
And before you start with “EVs are more polluting to produce”, know that EV’s still would pollute less than an ICE after about 25 000km.
Most cars easily drive 4 times that in their lifetime.
Got any links to support these claims? I’d be interested to know more for when people bring up the same argument as the person you’re replying to.
Not OP but searched up EE’s video on a topic like this. Been a long while since I watched it so I don’t remember much about it in description is the sources. So at the very least you can check some of that type of stuff.

But yeah in general an ICE is horrendous at efficiency vs electric. An ICE blows some 70+% of its energy on making heat we don’t use but instead actively use some of the available energy made to cool it.
