Back to the EV part, for the ones who trust the Government research cause they are so trusting - the whole petrol aspect of a car does not consider the subsidies for all the requirements to get the petrol to the pump. That in itself is a major issue when doing the per mile calculation a big failure of these discussions.
utter nonsense. "Well to wheel" comparisons are the norm. So much so they invented a now commonly used term for it. EV's do not stack up. Particularly not in Australia, one of the worst places on the planet to own an EV, where they are more polluting than equivalent ICE vehicles both in terms of carbon and smog.

lol good example - more dirty, polluting electricity generation - this time CSG instead of coal. These are the kind of environmental costs of electricity generation in Australia which are not factored into the Electric Vehicle equation. Thanks for bringing it up!
Stick with the cleaner, greener, Internal Combustion Engined Vehicles to reduce our reliance on that sh1t.
It's a similar story with the environmental costs of battery manufacture. People living in regions where lithium, copper and zinc used in the batteries are extracted, are at risk of exposure to toxic groundwater contamination and air pollution.
