One can argue how bad gasoline production is and the amount of water consumed, but that does not change the fact that EV's requires excessive water (3,000 to 32,000 gallons) to extinguish EV fires (which is equal to the water carried by 6-64 firetrucks). That is a fact.
What are the ecological impacts of mining Lithium? Can the land ever be reused?
Under what conditions would California permit the mining of Lithium (assuming a deposit of Lithium was discovered). LOL, Cali would never permit open mining with excessive water usage.
And what form of "non hydrocarbon" energy will fire-up these, yet to be built, smelters required to recycle EV batteries? How many will be located in California?
How is OK to trash one partion of mother earth (Chile) for the benefit of a small group of affluent consumers that mostly reside in California--all under the premise that "we drive EV, you drive IC, so therefor we are greener than you".
Just asking difficult questions...and if you don't know the answers, then who does? And if they don't know...then, ahhhh the great con game.
