I would love to see a thorough, agreed upon study comparing ICEs and EVs. If you have hard data (say, from a reputable journal, not just the news), please post.

    the first and last link seem less trustworthy as they seem to be affiliated with industry orgs that benefit from EVs.

    But link #2 seems solid, and a related search on Google Scholar points at a lot of interesting papers.

    I looked at a few, and the overall consensus seems to be that at least EVs are not worse than ICEVs (and I suppose EVs will get efficient faster than ICEVs(.

    Thanks!
