i remember reading a study when Prius first came out. Over the life of the car, meaning from construction of the parts, to end of life of the vehicle, a Prius pollutes more than a Hummer.
take into account that parts are made for the prius in a number of different countries and shipped via boat to one country for partial assembly, then to another for final assembly. not only that, but the mining done for the battery components etc.

Okay? I got it because it’s saving me a lot of money.
Why is that? I would expect an SUV to pollute more, both in production and over its life span.
