Debunking the Caterpillar meme

 



To sum up again, this time with the correct numbers:

  • the ICE will still produce 160,000 * 150 = 24 tons of CO2
  • the electric car will produce 27,000 * 300 = 8,1 + 0,009 = 8,01 tons of CO2 or, if you prefer, 67% less!

These memes are not the work of stupid haters, but come straight from a campaign whose objective is to discredit the electric car; your guess is as good as mine as to who the authors of the campaign could be.

If there is little we can do to stop misinformation, we can avoid helping it, by double checking what we share.
