Ok, I had to check it out, and the guy is a Harvard grad (who did the study) but if you read the article, what was said, was that if you personally only use a car for a few short trips and don't put many miles on the car, YOUR carbon footprint would be smaller with a ICE car, because of the mfg cost associated with an electric vs. ICE. Over the life of the CAR however, the footprint will be much smaller than an ICE
Those that lease or buy then trade every few years have a PERSONAL carbon foot print bigger than those that hold onto the car for its lifetime, but the footprint of the car itself doesn't change when someone else owns it.
Could it be someone has an agenda here? Naw, couldn't be!
