Even a fully electric car uses a substantial amount of petroleum based products



Likewise aircraft, which will not run practically on batteries for at least another decade. But the elimination of cars will decrease a volume of petroleum consumption large enough to pose an existential challenge to many oil companies.


At least that carbon is sequestered in the body of the car though?


I think the point is that a lot was released in the manufacturing of those parts.


That makes sense, thanks.
