Don EVs simply shift pollution from the car to the Power Station?
• It is possible to purchase renewable energy. Removing pollution from town & city centres is beneficial to our health. Pollution from a large generating facility can be much better controlled than from individual vehicle exhaust. The energy source can be changed without the need to make any modifications to the vehicle EVs much less wasteful of energy than their equivalent petrol/diesel vehicle, e.g. they use regenerative braking that captures lost energy when braking or as it slows. EVs also help reduce noise pollution as they are very quiet. EVs have far less parts such as lubricants, filters, exhausts & spark plugs – replacing all these regularly causes pollution in their manufacture, delivery & disposal.
