BlueSkies all began with a spirited discussion between our founders, Daniel Owen & Andy Black. The burning question: Is an electric vehicle truly more sustainable than retaining a decade-old car? While numerous studies had been conducted by institutions, governments, and researchers, their focus was often broad and for policy making. Specific comparisons between individual car models were hard to come by.
Does the environmental toll of producing an EV battery truly eclipse the emissions of an older vehicle, especially when the latter's manufacturing emissions have already been absorbed? We also realised that these nuanced questions extended to many different areas of an individual's footprint, from home heating to holiday flights.
