Zero-Emission Vehicles?
Engine EcoPhils, Inc.
We offer an immediate "bridge solution" to vehicle pollution that is 500 times more effective than buying an EV.
With articles such as this one from Development Asia titled "How Electric Vehicles Can Make Tajikistan Emissions-Free" you could think so.
However, Boston's MIT says “Although many fully electric vehicles (EVs) carry “zero emissions” badges, this claim is not quite true." and the IEA shows EVs at about 50% of lifetime GHG emissions over ICEs...
From the MIT Climate Portal article:
"Are electric vehicles definitely better for the climate than gas-powered cars?" dated October 13, 2022 by Andrew Moseman:
"Battery-electric cars may not emit greenhouse gases from their tailpipes, but some emissions are created in the process of building and charging the vehicles. Nevertheless, says Sergey Paltsev, Deputy Director of the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, electric vehicles are clearly a lower-emissions option than cars with internal combustion engines. Over the course of their driving lifetimes, EVs will create fewer carbon emissions than gasoline-burning cars under nearly any conditions."
MIT Continues...
“We shouldn't claim victory that with this switch to electric cars, problem solved, we are going to have zero emissions,” he says. “No, that's not the case. But electric cars are actually much, much better in terms of the impact on the climate in comparison to internal combustion vehicles. And in time, that comparative advantage of electric cars is going to grow.”

Which is agreed to by the International Energy Agency which shows that lifetime GHG emissions of an average EV are actually about 50% of an average ICE.
What Would Happen If...
Being as the majority of the ICE GHG emissions are directly from its fuel, what would the case be if the average ICE emissions level all of the sudden dropped...?
It could happen.
