Electric vehicles (EVs) are indeed better for the environment, confirms Hannah Ritchie, deputy editor at Our World In Data. Although EV manufacturing, particularly for batteries, is more energy-intensive, this initial carbon footprint is quickly offset by cleaner operation.

For instance, in the UK, extra production emissions are typically recouped within two years of driving. After this period, EVs consistently emit significantly less CO2 than comparable petrol or diesel cars. Over its lifetime, an EV can reduce emissions by 1/2 to 2/3 compared to a conventional vehicle.

Green Economy pioneer Van Jones addressed the 2009 Bentley University/TIME magazine Leadership Forum. As founder of Green For All and former Special Advisor for Green Jobs to President Obama, he identified three fallacies eroding American prosperity: over-reliance on consumption, prioritizing credit over savings, and ecological destruction instead of restoration.

Despite being vilified in the press after his White House resignation, it is advisable to consider his message directly, rather than the media's narrative about him.
