    I’m in London. I cycle to work and use the tube network and bus network whenever I can. I also have a private car which I use for trips where public transport or my bike is impractical. It’s a 2016 model, I expect that it may need replacing in 5 years time. If I took the cartoon at face value, I might think it makes no difference from a climate chang perspective whether I choose petrol or electric - and this is clearly wrong.

      That’s ok, OP will just block you for making a valid point that doesn’t align with whatever is written on the inside of his colon.

        you can also see that there are only a few hybrid vehicles a bit better than bev, and bev are overall ‘better’ in this diagram?

        in fact - if you filter by vehicle class you see that bev are always ‘better’ in their respective class than hybrid or ice. you can’t compare a bev suv with a midsize hybrid.
