EV vs ICE Comparison
Engine EcoPhils, Inc.
We offer an immediate "bridge solution" to vehicle pollution that is 500 times more effective than buying an EV.
This is not an anti-EV rant, simply a look at the real effects of using each type of vehicle and neither one wins the 'net zero' title. Take a look...
ICEs produce less environmental impact than EVs during the production process. From Earth.org: "Almost 4 tonnes of CO2 are released during the production process of a single electric car and, in order to break even, the vehicle must be used for at least 8 years to offset the initial emissions by 0.5 tonnes of prevented emissions annually."
ICEs pollute directly while most (not all) EVs pollute at the coal or diesel generator. This is a simple, obvious truth.
EVs generally have quicker acceleration than ICEs. This may not be appreciated by your local police department...
EVs are more connected to the Internet in general than ICEs are. This is especially of concern to anyone who has worked in the computer security sector and/or has seen the steady rise in computer break-ins continuing to rise in recent decades.
EVs are heavier than ICEs which will cause more wear & tear on roads which were designed with a specific weight range of a predetermined number of vehicles in mind and this will create the need for more VERY environmentally impact-full road repairs.
ICE production process does not include environmentally damaging strip-mining as required for the lithium for EV batteries and for some coal mining. ICE production requires mining, yes, but not strip-mining which looks like this...
ICEs can be completely recycled while current EV lithium batteries (the major portion of the EV in weight) cannot.
EV ‘super chargers’ create a very extensive and ~VERY~ strong EMF field (dangerous to humans and animals) around them while ICE fuel stations have very poisonous air around them from the fumes of these liquid fuels which are also dangerous to humans and animals.

Energy Efficiency -- face it -- EVs win, hands down.
Why such a large gap?
From Yale Climate Connections: "Modern gasoline-powered vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. For each gallon pumped into the tank, only a bit more than three cups go to moving the vehicle forward."
If you believe that is incorrect, please explain why a catalytic converter is required on every new gasoline car being sold in developed countries when its purpose is to BURN FUEL THE ENGINE DID NOT BURN which is normally about 35%.
The reason for that is seen here:
The only fuel that burns is VAPORIZED FUEL. This has been proven over, and over, and over to infinity.
ICE engines can be MUCH more efficient. We know because this is what we do.
We create reductions in CO2 & PM2.5 (black carbon) that we are quite proud of and are the reason we have been nominated for awards such as the Earthshot Prize 2024, the EUTECH SDG Awards 2024 (for which we are a finalist - please vote for us here!) and won the GCPIT Global Sustainability Award for 2023.
If you need to lower transport emissions and/or costs, ask us how.

2 个月EV technology is still in the emergent phase. Battery recyclability is improving with every iteration of design. Already EVs have lower whole lifetime emissions than ICE. Burning hydrocarbons will always lead to emission of carbon. The future is electric.
