Even taking all the indirect emission into account, electric cars are still significantly cleaner than gas powered. You can’t forget that gas powered vehicles have dirty manufacturing processes too.

In theory? They are taken to a hazmat processing facility and the toxic materials inside them are reclaimed and the rare earth and precious metals are recycled and put back into the resource stream.

In practice? Leaking poison in perpetuity at the bottom of landfill.

LOL. That's not "500x" worse environmental impact.

Not very good at math, eh?

I wonder if more cars have that happen or if more gas engine cars catch fire? I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this. lol.

The batteries are actually in high demand even after the cars reach the end of their life cycle. They can be used to store energy from solar panels.

Define 500x or more the environmental impact please?

I’m no environmentalist nor did I write the article.


What article? Please cite.
