Trump broke the Republican party too

Let’s see what Susan Collins thinks about this…

Yes, any powered vehicles are bad for the environment. With that said, studies have shown that, even considering mining resources for batteries, an EV is much less detrimental for the environment that a similar ICE vehicle.

The EVs are heavier, which causes more road wear than a similarly sized ICE and they will also produce more tire wear pollution for the same reason. Overall, they’d still be better than the ICE comparison for the environment due to no tail pipe emissions but a smaller EV would obviously be better.
