I just don’t understand what’s so green about electric cars? Lithium mining plus everything else associated with the manufacturing process doesn’t seem too green to me.
While I agree with the sentiment that EVs aren’t the most efficient alternative in terms of lowering carbon footprint, they are definitely better than ICE vehicles for consumer use. They are even more so when you have an electrical grid running off of solar, wind, and water.
We get the majority of our lithium from an area that has zero life and has had no recorded rainfall. Their lifetime CO2 emissions compared to an ICE vehicle is significantly lower even using the most polluting power source. There is just no comparison.
