What improvements might the alternative choices to the significant ICE CO2 tailpipe emissions have on reducing poisons in the air we breathe?
Air pollution is one of the US’ and global leading causes of death on an ongoing and increasingly fatal basis year to year. Estimates for air pollution related deaths worldwide range from 6.5 to 9 million. It affects our hearts, lungs, kidneys, blood, and more, and imparts fatal consequences.
So, the round numbers are easy for me to remember: Hybrids are about half the CO2 pollution of ICE. PHEVs are about half the CO2 pollution of Hybrids. BEVs are an absolute zero on the CO2 meter while driving, for the lifetime of the car. So instead of waiting longer for the very best evolving battery tech, EV price war discounts, better tax credits, and promo deals to arrive, or a 1.5 Centigrade number of the future, I leased a 2023 Hyundai Kona EV SE for 36 months with a $7500 cash bonus discount and a plan to buy it out at term.
The reach for success in the US with clean energy on the grid and on the roads is not without precedent elsewhere. Norway’s 2023 EV sales reached an astounding 82% of all cars sold. Finland had incidents in 2023 of negative costs on grid electricity prices due to surplus clean energy. Germany just reached a benchmark 55% renewable energy grid benchmark in its goal of 80% green energy by 2030.By Dave Elias, software engineer and 25-year veteran of Silicon Valley’s big data scene.
