Also, the "more cars" on the photo (or even the "just as many cars" thing) doesn't necessarily mean worse (or better): Solely focusing on actively generated pollution, I would pick 3 EVs over 1 intcomb car. Adding the pollution caused by manufacturing them and their batteries definitely changes the equation, and I'm not an expert enough to say which is better or worse, but the posted image just focuses a bit too much on the sheer numbers of vehicles.
