1/12 This is an updated #EV #ElectricVehicle thread for 2020.
It includes current info on initiatives to create #SustainableSolutions using electric cars, trucks, buses, trains, bicycles and more for #transportation.
It also looks at #battery technology updates to support same.

2/12 First, let& #39;s clear up some pervasive #disinformation about #EV vs #ICE vehicles in terms of total environmental impacts:
This simple chart examines ALL the aspects of ICE vs EV from mining minerals to manufacture to lifespan, and EV wins hands-down: https://cleantechnica.com/2020/06/10/this-stunning-chart-shows-why-battery-electric-vehicles-win/">https://cleantechnica.com/2020/06/1...

4/12 Detractors often rant about & #39;How Bad Batteries Are: Mining Is Terrible!" without anything more than images of open mines and suffering faces: it& #39;s manipulation, folks.

5/12 Public transportation is a key part of helping solve the #ClimateEmergency by moving away from #FossilFuels. Vancouver& #39;s leading the way with #EV buses that charge in a mere 5 minutes:
