The study also estimated that gas-powered vehicles cause at least twice as much environmental damage over their lifetimes as EVs, and said the benefits of EVs can be expected to increase in coming decades as clean sources of power, such as solar and wind, are brought onto the grid.

That's to do with the total energy stored in petrol, that's irrelevant for the comparison. The statement was 100 miles with 2,5 gallon of gas. That's easy in EU

Nah man, the statement was 240 miles on 1.5 gallons worth of energy.

My electric blows the hell out of even the most efficient gas motors.

The statement was hundreds, not 100. No idea how accurate the statement is though

[–] Tommelot@lemmy.world -4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It wasn't at the time I typed it. It was 100+ then
