That’s a better world for humans. Car exhaust is not just carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, but nitrogen dioxide, benzene and formaldehyde.
And yes, 3% is probably a high estimate for people who drive 1,000 miles without stopping. I don’t know of any vehicles with that large of a gas tank.

As electric cars improve, the charging technology, charging infrastructure, and acceptance will all come.
Cheers to BMW for making fantastic machines!
