According to the Mail Online “Manufacturing green vehicles churns out more CO2 than making fuel models”!
Mail Online also reported that:
- Electric cars would have to be driven for 50,000 miles before being as ‘green’
- Report suggests the green transport revolution could increase emissions
- The research threatens to undermine the PM’s plan to achieve net zero emissions by banning sales of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030
And that –
Manufacturing electric vehicles generates 63 per cent more carbon dioxide than making petrol or diesel models, damning research has found.
It means some zero-emission vehicles have to be driven for almost 50,000 miles before they are as ‘green’ as cars powered by fossil fuels.
The revelation threatens to undermine the Prime Minister’s plan to achieve net zero emissions by banning sales of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.
