@AukeHoekstra @VolvoCarUK Hi - thanks for your work on this. I've spent a lot of time explaining your points to other people who still to this day share screenshots of the "9 years" claim. Did you and Volvo ever have a public discussion elsewhere on this?
@RebeccaUdon@JohnMil33426882@GBNEWS EVs and hybrids have LESS brake wear because they use regenerative braking most of the time and therefore use the pads less.

Left @edfenergy early December. Mid-Dec final bill says they're going to take another direct debit late Dec anyway(?) leaving credit to reclaim. Hard copy bill turns up 30th Dec - says I'll get refund in 6 to 8 WEEKS. It's amazing how quick they can take but slow to give back.
@crispi_1971 Indeed. I'm moving house and will at some point have solar and a Zappi. Even if it only gave me 10% of my annual mileage for free and at 0g/kWh that'll bring the average down a fair chunk.
Chart taken from the Exeter / Cambridge / Nijmegen study about EVs that shows that they're cleaner in 95% of the world already and will get even better as world grids get cleaner.
@crispi_1971 I can see what's happened. I'm talking about Australia as a whole ("on average" as per my first tweet) but you're talking about a specific state. You're almost certainly correct about the state(s) with the dirtiest grids.
@crispi_1971 Volvo/Polestar: https://t.co/KisxCDEyXx
Polestar (Volvo) concurred that parent company Volvo were using the wrong figures.
It's blatantly not the correct figures: Assuming average mix, assuming that mix will stay the same, and not including well-to-tank emissions is just lying.
@crispi_1971 You're talking tank-to-wheel again, and we've covered why Volvo are wrong (they even admitted it themselves). Where are you getting your well to tank figures from?
@crispi_1971 According to whom? Where are your figures coming from and why do they differ from multiple peer reviewed studies, including the one I mentioned to begin with?
@crispi_1971 That's only counting tank to wheel emissions, you need to look at the whole lifecycle and whole well to wheel cycle and look at more than just one model of vehicle and consider EVs generally aren't charged with average mix but below average mix, and that grids are getting cleaner
