You’re getting downvoted, but you bring up a legitimate point.

The cost of capital is becoming immense. Every new part requires a new machine, etc. Are we including that in carbon costs for production? Are we really net positive building something high tech that requires hundreds of different supply chains and non renewables, just so there’s no emissions?

I don’t have the answer but I’d like to see an analysis that says it’s a net positive, with a total analysis of all pieces out together, transportation costs (not just for parts, but people having to drive to work, etc). Because only in a truly total analysis can you say it’s a net positive. I think we’re all grasping for straws, especially when a car says “zero emissions” (it should say “zero direct emissions”)

Hydrogen fuel cell. Clean, has better milage than standard electric, doesnt require all the lithium that battery vehicles use, service stations can remain in place aswell all the jobs associated with logistics, hydrogen is the most abundant resource on our planet (and off) and theres no 8 hour charge time or extra stress on the electrical grid.
