Elio Addict
I have read several articles and comments in different places where people call Elio part of the problem due to it's internal combustion power plant.
I would love to see a real comparison of the environmental impact of so called green cars compared to Elio.
Let's think about the very trendy electric car from Nissan, the Leaf. Yes it's true that the leaf produces zero emissions out the tail pipe, but compared to an Elio how much more impact to the environment will getting a heavier car from manufacturing to you local dealer than the Elio make? How long could you drive the Elio for the difference?
What about the the environmental impact of turning the raw materials into usable materials at the car plant? With the Elio being significant simpler with many less parts, the enviormental impact would be much less than that of the Leaf. How many more miles can I drive the Elio before breaking even?
I'm sure we can collectively come up with more ways that the Elio impacts the environment less than most (if not all) so called green cars.
Am I on the right track hère or am I looking at this through rose colored glasses. Is it possible that Elio could be greener than the Leaf (or you fill in the blank) in "Total Environmental Impact" than any other car made?
