>>In some countries they're also displacing leaded gasoline which is a double win when it comes to intelligence affects of pollution
Excuse me, but what? Leaded petrol has been phased out almost everywhere in the world, even according to wiki:
"only Algeria, Yemen, and Iraq continue widespread use of leaded gasoline. None use it exclusively".
I doubt any of those countries are seeing significant EV uptake either.
The only potential real connection here is how in some countries where leaded petrol is still legal but extremely rare(UK), and pretty much only ever used by classic car owners and even then rarely due to its extreme cost, maybe some of these cars are getting converted to EV drivetrains and therefore don't actually burn leaded petrol anymore. Maybe. But that will be extremely negligable, and literally a statistical error compared to the amount of leaded fuel still being burnt by the aviation industry.
