Yes do the same for ICE - very constructive suggestion. Completely unnecessary to call the argument silly though..
There are marked differences in what's needed in an EV vs an ICE, most obvious of which is the giant battery with a very different supply chain.
It’s probably still more net efficient in the long run. Besides, the main advantage EVs bring isn’t being more environmentally friendly. The main advantage is that it allows a nation to have more flexibility with its energy sources. i.e. an EV can run on anything that can generate electricity like coal or natural gas, while ICE cars mostly only run on gasoline.
Six months break even and then it’s more carbon friendly than an ICE for the rest of its working lifetime
Now do the same for internal combustion cars. What a silly argument.
