According to a recent Reuters article using a model developed by the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, the point at which an EV’s carbon footprint meets and begins to fall below that of a comparable gas vehicle in the United States is at around 13,500 miles. So after an average year of driving, the EV is better for the environment. Beyond that, the gap widens.

That’s cool. Thanks. It seems i stand corrected. I’ll look into it. Still it really shows how bad individual transportation is for the environment.

Yeah, I agree. I think trains / other stuff would be much better too. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s realistic to expect them to be as effective in countries like the US. At least not in the anywhere near future.
