The amount of digging and extremely polluting chemical processing required to manufacture an electric car is massive. After that, you need to power it, which means expanding the electric grid and power facilities (which means even more destruction of environment). And, at the end of the day, the power used to charge these cars is still more likely than not gonna come from fossil fuels.
I feel we’re pushing the electric cars too early on people. The grid is far from being green yet, and the batteries are not that great in terms of efficiency, safety (spontaneous combustion anyone?) and the toll on natural environment. And yet governments are not doing any deeper analysis, and are just ramming those things down people’s throats.
