Nope. Given the true net on emissions gains (or lack thereof) from cradle to grave - not at the tailpipe , continued dependence on conventional energy, the ecological impacts of mining raw materials, the finite supply of raw materials, dependency on foreign nations for raw materials, questionable labor practices from those foreign nations, hazardous waste disposal during manufacturing as well as end of life for batteries, cost to replace batteries mid life cycle, and all the constraints and logistics of charging.
