I need to find some articles(sources),with research preferably, that show that hybrids and EV’s are worse for the environment than a regular commuter car.
I know alot of you are ging to want to give me some that are pro Hybrid and EV’s but that is not what my paper is on,
So tell me what you have.
Thank you.
I’m not trying to prove or disprove anything I simply want to show the other side. And all I need is some sources that take that stance.
