Electric cars are in general much heavier than their gasoline counterparts, which makes them much more dangerous in traffic https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02760-8 …pic.twitter.com/oPel05rMMH

Electric cars net-bad everywhere Switching from gasoline to electric means less CO₂ but electric cars 500kg+ heavier and therefore deadlier in accidents Using realistic carbon cost at $68/ton (EU) more deadly outweigh less CO₂ New Nature study: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02760-8 …pic.twitter.com/CoBi0OAxL2

Not surprisingly, this is not the preferred message, so Nature article uses unrealistic $150 CO₂ price Switching to heavier electric car on very clean electricity grids like Norway/France juust ok Even at $150, switching bad in US, Germany, Japan, China, India & Australiapic.twitter.com/0ybTsxBTgx

Electric cars net-bad everywhere Switching from gasoline to electric means less CO₂ but electric cars 1000lb+ heavier and therefore deadlier in accidents W/realistic cost of $9.3/ton CO₂ (US RGGI) more deadly way override less CO₂ New Nature study: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02760-8 …pic.twitter.com/IiO0FZQdQY

Study emphasizes cost-benefit is a simplification: Leaves out injury (electric cars worse) air pollution (electric cars better, though http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es202347q …) air pollution (heavier electric cars means more air pollution from tires)

To the many arguing that heavier (electric) cars are safer: yes, for their occupants, but even more unsafe for the cars they hit, leading to overall higher risk of mortality A heavier car has externality, making others die more Based on this: https://academic.oup.com/restud/article-abstract/81/2/535/1517632 …pic.twitter.com/LQ775kMTqg

Big reach, especially with Tesla's (EV dominator) additional safety tech in traffic. What ICE vehicles are you comparing this to? Your argument is like swiss cheese.

Did you factor in that batteries will get lighter over time breh

The cost of carbon also rises over time so there's a really good chance that we should invest in battery tech now instead of subsidize a current net-loss technology

Seriously tho, once you've driven electric you don't want to go back to a combustion engine car.
Kiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa
