Studie zeigt, dass die Einführung von Elektrofahrzeugen mit einer tatsächlichen Reduzierung der Luftverschmutzung verbunden ist

Wow. Who could have possibly imagined that. And air pollution has many adverse impacts on population health, mental development and disproportionately affects lower socioeconomic areas. It also decreases reliance on imported oil and thereby reduces the risks of conflicts and reduces the power of petrostates. Many of who act in bad faith and are dooming the environment by blocking action on climate change. Plus, your injectors don’t clog up, your piston rings won’t wear out and your head gasket won’t blow, amongst a million other problems that can occur.

You have to look below the surface. When industrial chemical plants are obliged to install air scrubbers, usually after a lot of resistance, the captured waste usually is transferred to a body of water, like a waste treatment pond, and then on to some receiving waters with a compliant amount of dilution.

Sedans with electric powertrains don’t really make cities into cleaner places. It just puts the entropy somewhere else, and externalizes the problem.
