[Jerry Rig Everything] -- "How Dirty Are EV's"? (and cracked R1T windshield)

[zefram47]

I love Zack and his channel but I'm scratching my head at how he did not even mention the oil changes that have to occur with ICE vehicles.

Mineral based engine oils (the majority) are made from crude petroleum that has to undergo significant refining. All of that is contributing a heavy emissions tax along with recycling of oil when you have your oil changed.

Since you aren't burning oil, the EPA does not factor that in to emissions of the vehicle in their scoring.

Big miss from Zack here but we need more efforts like his to keep the conversation going and cut down on the misinformation.

If disposed of properly, a lot of engine oil will at least be recycled.
