For those who haven’t seen or heard, Volvo did a full study on their XC40 Ice and the XC40 EV to compare their carbon footprint.
I was shocked when I read it as I knew the EV’s would start out at a loss with today’s mining, refining and manufacturing batteries (it will get better), but I had no idea!

Some highlights: in their lifetime the ICE will produce 58 Tonnes of CO2, the EV 54 Tonnes. The break even point where the EV will match the ICE vehicle then be “greener” 146,000 KMs or 90,000 miles!

I’ll stick to gas ��
