Another interesting report... Worth reading.

"The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is the leading science-based
nonprofit working for a healthy environment and a safer world. UCS combines
independent scientific research and citizen action to develop innovative,
practical solutions and to secure responsible changes in government policy,
corporate practices, and consumer choices."

Didn't have to read past that to know which way this article was going

Ok, I gotta ask... who you do you consider an 'unbiased' source?

As for the article, it actually crunches the numbers from what type of power source the electric comes from. Hence that EVs run from coal plants (45% of the US power base) is only 30 MPG emissions equal.

So the jist was that a traditional IC motor is a better choice until our base load supply from coal changes.

Is that the 'liberal' tree hugger conclusion you expected?
