Same… must be getting a lot of love at the moment.

Plus, there’s a ton of pollution and other environmental damage caused by battery production that at least partly offsets the lack of tailpipe emissions.

The battery production pollution is an issue, however one thing to keep in mind is that once the minerals are out of the ground they can be recycled, unlike drilling for oil. When looked at on a long timeline the battery for an electric vehicle is a lot cleaner than everything needed to power an ICE vehicle.

That said, there’s always room for improvement and we should never get complacent. But we don’t avoid innovation just because it isn’t perfect.
