So PHEV Chev Volt was sold from 2011 to 2019. More than enough time to observe that human behavior/circumstance saw most just gassed and go. The plug in feature is purchased with the best of intentions...... but not fully used.
Kind of like keeping a Bible beside the bed...not read.. then dead....

Their opinion does not matter.
When the issue is global, society is not led by truckers.
That is as they say " WAG THE DOG".
They will pass their costs on , just as they do now. When has this ever been any differnt.

There are millions of cheaper ones. They are called used.
Why can we not repair?
Why can we not refurbish?

Why bother your efforts on new EV's when you won't support the existing ones? Specifically why not put effort into keeping the 1000 000 Nissan Leafs on the road? By offering replacement battery packs?
You already made them.
You already shipped them.
A restored Leaf has the lowest carbon footprint of ANY EV taking to the road today.
Why?

Old McMotors made some PHEVs
Over limit , still emit it,, C-OO C-OO Ohh
And in those cars the woke did ride.
Deaf dumb blind, still in a bind, C-OO C-OO, Ohh
With a false claim here, And a lying add there
Here a claim., show no shame, pass the blame
C-OO C-OO Ohh
Diesel gate just opened the gate
C-OO C-OO Ohhh
Whose going to tell? What the hell !
C-OO C-OO Ohhh
Fabricate, claims inflate.
Can't get it straight Uh Ohh
And in the Press the woke did work
Slow news day, paywall now pay, Uh Ohh
Cancel me now, cause real numbers do tell

Fake news, not real views wow.
Tests commissioned by T&E find real-world PHEV CO2 emissions much higher than claimed
Testing by TU Graz, commissioned by environmental NGO Transport & Environment (T&E), has found that the newest generation of PHEVs emit significantly more CO2 than claimed on city and commuter routes. Two years ago, T&E found the technology polluted significantly more than advertised on longer r...
Now this will only be possible if Nissan avoids all the abandoned dead battery LEAFs that scatter the landscape. But hey if we all join in, start a GOFUNDME page to support Nissan "environmental " transportation, (say maybe an extra $20,000 /car premium ) this might just work...

If Nissan was truly interested in Leading Environmental Affordable cars for Families....... then would offer a replacement battery for the 500 000 Leafs that will be crushed in the next 5 years...... THIS would be Leading, THIS would be Environmental, This would be Affordable, and finally THIS would allow families to be on the green bus......
Not since GM killed the Electric car has THIS been so evident....
Nissan introducing Serena with 2nd-generation e-POWER system in Japan

Great Green(washing) news Nissan........
Say how about offering a replacement battery for the +100,000 plus Nissan Leafs that are about to be crushed.
That's right. Nissan is working hard to sell high tech.. BUT not hard at all at finding a place for the cars. Like back on the road. With a new battery.
EVERYBODY KNOWS.

Look,
over the time frame of concern for global warming, 50, 100, 150 years ANY carbon that is not fixed in the soil will evolve into the atmosphere.
So sludge, food waste, farm waste etc.... will not all remain fixed in the soil.
It will degrade, mineralize and RELEASE CO2.
IF ( big if ) these biofuel processes supplant carbon based oil which is removed ( fixed already ) from buried fossil fuel deposits then it is a win.
These biofuel precursors would otherwise degrade over the timeframe of concern, releasing CO2.
Yes replace electrical grid energy sources with non polluting tech.
Yes replace industrial processes with net zero tech. ( Steel, fertilizer ).
Yes replace ICE transport with electrical tech.
Start with tech that gives the biggest bang ( err.. you know what I mean )

Study finds EVs are traveling less than half the US fleet average
New data suggests that electric vehicles may not be an easy future substitute for the gasoline-powered fleet, as EVs currently travel less than half as much as the US fleet average. A team from the University of Chicago, University of California, Davis, and UC Berkeley combined billions of hou...

Double speak, half truths, truthiness.,,, Keep it simple.. just call it a lie.
And while we are having fun what about
"Every IONITY charging station consists of an average of four charging points."
No. Every means each station, and each one cannot have an "average" anymore than my head can have an average of 2 eyes.
But I'll finish with I support their efforts, many other do not try at all.
Keep up the good work.

Help me understand the big picture here...
Whereas we have multiple GHG sources sectors( transport, Electrical generation, materials production...) and multiple generation tools ( nuclear/ wind/ solar/geothermal).... just which sector can do these two things:?
1. lower GHG emission more than nuclear power.
2. practically capture CO2 for further use.
Not Electrical generation,
Not ground transport ( cannot capture CO2 practically)
Not industrial materials production.
So why bark up the wrong tree?
Is there a clear roadmap( or hierarchical statement ) which identifies a sector that can show a longterm benefit from carbon capture?
And be careful in you answer, because keeping carbon in the ground is the most effective carbon capture AND displacing fossil fuel markets, with say nuclear energy, has got to be more effective in the short term, and long term. ( hey it already is in use)
Any concise rational on the ultimate benefits of carbon capture?
