12,000 miles per year x 10 year car life equals 120,000 miles divided by 20 mpg equals 6000 gallons x $3/gallon equals $18,000 fuel cost (gasoline). Knocking 1000 pounds off the car saves $3000-4000 over 10 years...not tremendously compelling but significant.
What does it mean for carbon footprint (tons of carbon dioxide)....a gallon of gas produces 20 pounds of carbon dioxide when its burned so 20% of 6000 gallons equals 1200 gallons or 24,000 pounds of carbon dioxide over 10 years....10 metric tons in 10 years times lots of cars.
EVs don’t make all the carbon dioxide go away, depending on how you generate electricity...coal power plants are disappearing but they are being replaced by natural gas which must be burned to make the electricity to charge the EV. Environmentalists point to solar and wind to supply pollution free energy but the quantities won’t be here for decades if ever. Nuclear currently generates 20% of our demand with no carbon footprint but its burdened by public opinion problems.
Complex problem with a series of potential approaches....work from home, have groceries delivered by EV, redesign housing etc.....build a transporter just like StarTrek.
