Reisend Thanks for explaining. I was thinking wth lol

My pleasure. If you have any questions ask away.

Reisender, you seem to be well versed on the EV subject so I have a few questions. What's your thoughts on the ecological impact of mining the finite resources for batteries? I recently read an article where as a response to predicted limited resources companies are already vying for contracts to mine unknown regions of the sea floor - with unpredictable consequences. What's your thoughts on continued dependency on foreign nations for resources - many of which conflict with our humanitarian laws? What's your thoughts on the actual CO2 emissions when you factor in the entire manufacturing lifecycle and ecological impacts of the caustic and hazardous waste required to manufacture? What's your thoughts on the continued reliance on a taxed power grid and how increased demand will affect cost?

And something no one talks about, what about in the increased EMF emissions and the long term effects they have on humans?

I am not trying to be crass, but I bring these things up with EV proponents and I never really get an answer. Are the advantages simply power efficiency and are we just dropping the "greener" argument? All things considered, EV's aren't green.

I am not anti EV. I appreciate advances in technology. But what problem(s) have we really solved? And it's hard to argue that EV technology hasn't simply brought new problems to replace the old ones.
