I saw a documentary on how they made the battery for EV. And the environment hazard produced when manufactures those batteries was way more than a modern fuel car lets out till it`s time for new batteries in the EV. So already for the world it`s gets more emissions out (is it how you say it?) in the manufacturing of the batteries. And the infrastructure in the electric grid is not able to solve the raise that they want EV to be developed. Here in Sweden we don`t have coal power plants. A goverment owned electric power company here bought 3 coal power plants in Germany. And that was not so smart when the goverment do so much for haveing green electric power produced LOL. The most dirty produced electric power we have is power plants fueled with wood chips. A lot of wind power has been put up during the last 10 years. But those who knows what happens to the wild life in those areas they are build. Says it`s not good for it both on land and at sea. So it`s hard to produce green electric power which don`t have an impact on earth.
There is a technology for diesel engines that is used in some cars but most in semi-trucks and work machines. It`s a separate tank with something called Ad-Blue. It`s almost like the old 2 stroke engines with oil added. It`s a normal diesel engine with this addetive mixed in. And you get a very low emission out from it. The detailers though can be happy cause ad-blue is not so great to get on your paint. Black smoke from diesel engines with this addetive you don`t see anymore even from a cold engine. It`s only little fumes of mostly water I think it was that comes out. And it`s a little technique to use it as you have to turn off the ad-blue mixing a little time before you turn the engine off. This is the most effective to the environment I know of when useing diesel as fuel.
Then we have people that are used to over powered vehicals. Do we need to have over say 150hp engines in our vehicals. And do we need to have the speed we drive in today. Don`t get me wrong cause I like fast cars. But do I need it just for fun and not get me from one place to another. No to be honest. So as long as all the people in the world is not ready to sacrifies for getting the world a cleaner place and even save it for generation to come. We can just do the best we can as an individual to do what we can.
