I am glad pianotuna made the point that at the 5 year mark, you break even on carbon dioxide. I think it is closer to 8 years. But, lets accept 5. The conclusion that most people miss is that to change to EVs you must front load the carbon dioxide levels of good old mother earth. Translation, you will push up carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to make the transition. Want to cut carbon dioxide in the air? Then keep whatever is in your driveway right now.

That argument only lasts 5 years starting 10 years ago.
