[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1539795, member: 31322"] If we’re all gonna be driving EVs whether we like it or not in a few years, can the manufacturers/govt/people @ least be honest about the intent/environmental impact of them at least one time for me? Please? the batteries are still produced using rare earth elements utilizing a mining & refining process that hurts the environment, exploits near slave labor in 3rd world countries, & creates hazardous waste byproducts in both the mining, refining/production AND “recycling” phases (ie: they can’t be fully recycled yet in a closed loop process & its also not economically sustainable- would need subsidies to make a “business case” @ this point) Everyone already mentioned the lack of charging stations.....& then there’s the elephant in the room- exactly WHERE & from WHAT does the majority of our power come from? It ain’t sunshine, wind & water I’ll tell ya that much. probably first thing that needs to happen would be more nuclear power plants, OR come up w/ some other new clean efficient energy source we don’t have yet (cold fusion?) don’t tell me that EVs are “green” it’s a straight up fraudulent lie. Period. Tell me that you like the “idea” that they “could be more green than traditional ICEs if we get to a point where we address the power grid & battery recycling/production issues” [/QUOTE]
