Your question on EVs versus gas cars touches on emissions and trade-offs — I'll gather the latest research to give you a full answer. Yes, according to most lifecycle research - electric vehicles (EVs) are better for the environment than gasoline-powered vehicles overall, especially over the full life of the vehicle, although there are trade-offs. 1. Lifecycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions Are Lower

Yes, electric vehicles (EVs, specifically battery electric vehicles or BEVs) are better for the environment than gas-powered (internal combustion engine or ICE) vehicles on a full lifecycle basis, particularly for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This holds in nearly all regions and conditions studied, with the advantage growing as electricity grids clean up. The consensus comes from major analyses
