Are we putting too much faith into electric vehicles? - The Climate Question, BBC World Service

Public Transit is more important. Nuclear produced hydrogen burned in ICEs without nitrogen gas are the future for cars. They need to work on the oxygen concentrators to remove the nitrogen.

I am in China, we have the most electric cars around the world,and the number is still increasing very very fast. Our electricity is under pressure. We drop oil and pick up battery, Does we have enough power plants to support such high demand of electricity? I don't think so. In China, more than half of power plants are use coal. So Are we really clean to use electric cars? Even the batteries are making more pollutants ..so

Worse expensive decision. Someone is getting big money and it isn't the planet or people.

Deep down we all know it's a losing battle. Then again as Steve Jobs said, life itself is a losing battle because in the end we're all gonna die. The flipside is you have nothing to lose so live your life as best as you can.

Can I have the transcription of this video

please make more videos😢It helps me a lot in improving listening

Futuristic Mode of Transportation!. People are not ready for this change!.

The Battery is too Expensive!. What if a Cellphone battery were to cost $1500!.

I had this argument with a friend who said that more greenhouse gases are being produced making an electric car versus a combustion engine. I wasn't aware of this but so I didn't argue against it. I then asked him, how much green house gases are produced making and running an EV versus making and running a ICE over the lifetime of the vehicle. He didn't know the answer. I theorized that more greenhouse gases would be produced by ICE compared to EVs and this video is just one source that confirms my hypothesis.

Cars, anti social selfish means of getting around.

I think you'll see the biggest change when fleet buyers start getting in EVs.

It's a false dilemma. We have to do this transition along with every other effort that we can come up with to cut emissions and capture carbon. And pray it will be enough, though knowing present generations won't probably live to see the benefits.

Are we??not me!

Thanks for that, because, yes, if we give up eletricity produiced by carbone and if we clean the mining process for the production of battery, it's one of the solution, not the only one, but certainly the one the most full of hope... for transport...

Electricity is producing from Coal whoch is more than threat from Petrol vehicles for greenhouse gases for environment.

I've heard this before, but I can't wrap my head around the fabrication of a big battery emitting more CO2 than the production, transport and then assembly of all those parts in an ICE engine, including the transmission, cooling, lubricating and emission control gadgets... so many parts to be fabricated and shipped to the assembly plant.

I've got a climate question..how come I can't see any polar bears outside my window!?

The following is a general idea, excluding countries with a high proportion of nuclear power generation and Norway, which has abundant hydropower. In the first place, it is difficult to imagine that electric cars can reduce CO2 emissions. They emit a lot of CO2 during manufacturing, and if many people charge at night when solar power generation is not effective, it is thought that even on a 10-year average, they will emit twice as much CO2 as gasoline-powered cars. In fact, the United Nations announced that last year's CO2 emissions were the highest on record, and stated that we only have two years left to stop global warming. As always, humans are making major oversights that are causing damage to the Earth. Nowadays, we are limited in what we can do, so each of us needs to save as much energy as possible. Anyone can definitely reduce CO2 emissions by referring to my products or opening the windows early in the morning in summer to cool the room a little. It's already getting hot so I'd like you to try it.
