"Yes: although electric cars' batteries make them more carbon-intensive to manufacture than gas cars, they more than make up for it by driving much cleaner under nearly any conditions"
I'm calling Bullshit on that statement from that article

..
It's not taking into consideration, things like increased tire wear and braking dust, because the things are so damn heavy, or the fact that EVs are designed to last just a handful of years..
Then there's things like recycling the batteries, I could go on and on..
Articles like that, are just selling the "Green Dream".
