Another example of the anti-EV spin machine unleashed in the UK.
It's even less honest than the slogan on a certain bus.
I research EVs at the @TUeindhoven and in reality it's about 16k miles before an EV compensates it's battery production and batteries outlast the car.
🧵
If Britain switches all cars to electric, it may actually increase emissions.
An EV has to travel 50,000+ miles to break even with an ICE car. That number is growing, not shrinking.
But batteries last about 60,000 miles.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Headline is misleading. While EVs today do emit more emissions during the manufacturing phase (including emissions from the supply chain) it takes < 2 years' worth of driving before the total emissions from an EV fall below that of a comparable gasoline vehicle.

Great seeing a further type of #ElectricVehicle joining our @AyrshirePolice fleet
Vehicles such as these are strides we’re making to provide a modern, fit-for-purpose fleet.
This will allow us to provide a sustainable service whilst meeting the needs of our fellow citizens 🔋🚔

Near-term efforts need to be bolstered by long-term policy.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is to make electricity cheaper than gas for consumers. It should be a key objective for Treasury's tax policies and BEIS energy market reforms.
It will transform the economics of low-carbon heat.
