Hi Joe! Great piece. I own two Teslas and 39 roof solar panels that power two basement wall batteries. I have been driving my cars on sunlight for two years now and my electricity bill was zero last month, mostly because I sell any energy I don’t use back to the grid at wholesale rates and those have been going up since inflation.

I don’t know about the macro-economics of the impact of electric vehicles on a global scale, but I can tell you from the data that my household runs on significantly less fossil fuels now than five years ago when I was driving gas-powered vehicles.

I still use gas in my tractor though :)

What about the emissions generated in building the ICE vehicles? I don't see that in your article or in CNETs. Or does building a steel and aluminum engine generate none?
