[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 1701659, member: 45230"] [SIZE=6][B]New study: Electric cars may be worse for the environment than gas-powered[/B][/SIZE] Electric cars are worse for the environment per mile than comparable gasoline-powered cars, according to [URL='http://www.nber.org/papers/w21291']a new study[/URL] published by the National Bureau of Economic Research. This contradicts the common assumption that electric cars are cleaner. In monetary terms, electric cars are about half-a-cent worse per mile for the environment than gas-powered cars, on average. This means that if a government wants to tax a car based on how much it pollutes, electric cars should be taxed half of one cent more per mile driven than gasoline cars.
