Electric vehicles are brilliant for the environment.
Buy lithium mining and processing is not.
Nobody knows how much pollution and toxins are in that smoke. Lithium, aluminium, plastics, polymers and all other forms of man made chemicals, burning away.
Not to mention the fact that ev's currently so nothing for the environment but transfer the source of pollution from one place (the petrol/diesel engine) to the coal/gas/oil power plant.
Green energy my ass.
Lithium is not consumed by the operation of a battery. It's like mining aluminium - yes, there is pollution is involved in mining it, but once you've got it, you've got it for the next hundred years.
An electric vehicle produces less pollution even if it is entirely powered by coal. A large, stationary power station is more efficient than an internal combustion engine.
It is when it burns.
