  1. #1 There is plenty of materials. Not a concern. Cobalt is slowly phased out. #2 Wrong. Electric vehicles are even cleaner on non renewable grid energy. #3 Easy: reuse and recycle. They are full of valuable materials.

  2. Wrong. EVs are always cleaner, no matter the source of energy.

  3.  @prem9501  "What about the coal burning, , losses during the transmission, losses during AC to DC conversion?" Like I said, even then EVs are cleaner. Petroleum products are hideously inefficient when it comes to mining, refining, transport and combustion. It is easy to beat.

  4. Electric cars are far cleaner anyway, so it is an great improvement whatsoever. We do not have to wait for anything. The grid will be fine too by the way.

  5. Nobody claims that EVs do not create waste. It’s about emissions.

  6. Even on non renewable energy driving electric is the cleanest solution.

  7. Well said

  8. They are not. Inform yourself.

  9. The charging efficiency does not deteriorate. It is the battery capacity that slowly decreases over the years. Modern EV batteries have already fixed this to a very manageable level.

  10.  @0neofthem  Exactly

  11. A LOT less than any alternative.

  12. Emissions are quite low already. About 100 kg of CO2 per kWh.

  13. So what do you propose

  14. Animal agriculture is about 15% of total. Quite a lot indeed.

  15. Nobody claims that.

  16. Sure but it cannot replace the need for sustainable transport.

  19. Common misconception. Emissions are always lower compared to diesel or gasoline due to higher efficiencies.

  20. This has always been the case with technological development. Not a reason to stop evolving.

  21. Not enough biomass

  22. EVs are always cleaner

  23.  @superpie0000  Yeah cycling is great
