I've seen the electric car lifecycle vs ICE car lifecycle trope get rolled out quite often, but neither parties (those for or against) can ever provide sufficient modelling on either side of the argument. I'd be interested to see a study done into it however, if ones been done.
Mostly it seems to be based on perceptions rather than facts.
It can be noted however that the components in an electric vehicle can be more readily recycled than parts in a traditional ICE vehicle.

This is just a reason to continue research, not a reason to avoid what the vast majority agree is likely to be the better approach.
- King-Aaron 8y agoI completely agree.
- tracker1 7y agoI think in the end there's room for some diversity in approach. I just tend to resist the tropes that state X is absolutely better when it absolutely isn't backed by sufficient evidence. A lot of things that feel good aren't.
- tracker1 8y agoRegarding recycling... Batteries an electric motor are more recyclable than meeting down some mostly but metal slabs? The main difference is the engine and batteries. An ice engine is probably much easier to recycle than li batteries.
