  • No vehicle has zero emmissions due to manufacturing, for maintenance etc. The electricity is not zero emmissions either. First of all, it’s not 100% renewable and second, even if it was we’d at least have emmissions for manufacturing and maintenance of solar cells, turbines etc.

    Furthermore, emmissions is not only CO2. There’s also microplastics and - in case of combustion engine cars - you still have harmful substances when burning the (hypothetically existing) e-fuels.

    BEVs aren’t perfect, but the overall energy required during the lifecycle is significantly lower. And energy in this context more or less equals harm to the environment.

    From my perspective, no form of transport should be labeled zero emmissions, but if we allow that label it should be only granted to the most efficient options per sector which is BEVs for cars.
