That means that driving EV's are 50% better for the environment than driving ICE vehicles.

There's a reason every car manufacturer is moving to EVs. The technology is finally here and it's improving every year. The cars are far superior, test drive one you'll see for yourself. Their cheaper to operate (I had a car for 7 years - zero maintenance - no brakes) I use to spend a fortune on breaks. They're better for the environment and that will improve as we switch to solar and wind. AND Oil will not last forever. Good luck with your research.
No, the reason they are moving to EVs is they know they cannot meet the impending CAFE standards imposed by the Gubmint...
