Let's do the math: If I go to work, mostly I drive my EV truck which on the freeway uses at least 160-200A at 120V to maintain an easy 55-60MPH so it uses about 200x120 = 24kWh for 60 miles or about 400Wh/mi
Once a week on avg I ride my e-bike to work. Now, I like to work out to I typically ride it without motor, but let's suppose that I did ride the same 11 miles one-way on electric power, just as when riding my truck (not on the freeway, of course, but there is a parallel route that is about the same distance as taking the freeway) Then the consumption is about 300W for a speed of 20MPH so about 15Wh/mi No matter where the power comes from, the bike uses about 1/30 the energy that my truck uses for the same distance, so how can this be dirtier?
