Surprising that most pollutants from driving don't come from the tailpipe but the ICE has been engineered for a century and has gotten cleaner and cleaner burning .. as has the fuel.

Well it did get a little cleaner but we are just about at the end of improvements. They have pretty much reached the efficiency limit of "heat engines".

en.wikipedia.org

ICE's emit pollution because of what they "burn".

Pure electrics don't emit!

Period

Tell you what.

You fill up your truck and I'll fully charge up my car.

We will get equal size garages big enough for us to both drive in circles within them.

Then close the doors and all openings to the atmosphere.

I guarantee that you will die before you run out of less than half your gas.

I'll just be happy as a clam going around in circles for hours until I run out of electrons.

Ahhh,

It's nice to still have a garage with clean air in it to breathe!
