"New battlelines are being drawn in today’s revamped auto world...Now it's the engine itself and whether electric vehicles are worse for the environment than "gasmobiles" as is dubiously being claimed by some"...it is not the meter that scares government policy makers who tax measurable consumption, it is no meter.
"Change is never easy, especially an energy transition that upends an entire economy, but once an EV can do the same (or more) than a gasmobile at the same (or cheaper) price and everyone can buy one, no one will want yesterday's goods."

National Renewable Energy Laboratory expects "sufficient energy from the electric grid may be needed to support 33 million EVs on the road by 2030. The majority (64%) of EV charging is estimated to take place at single family homes using L1 and L2 charging, which is typically the most cost-effective and convenient type of charging."DC fast charging infrastructure is expected to support 20% of EV charging needs."

"Academics at the University of Edinburgh...found that any extra [road] wear is 'overwhelmingly caused by large vehicles - buses, heavy goods vehicles'. Road wear from cars and motorcycles is 'so low that this immaterial'"National Highways, which runs the UK's motorways and A roads, is not concerned. Our bridges are designed to support 44-tonne heavy goods vehicles, so we have no concerns over the increased weight of much lighter EV cars"
