  1. "Do your own homework, you can back up my facts." Right from the start, this statement is so critical to listen to. You can't say a bunch of "facts" and then put the onus on the viewer to determine if they're correct or not. Cite sources!! This is a very poor way of presenting information, and a lot of the statements made in this video are incorrect or highly misleading. Yes, EVs have problems, lots of them! But videos like this are like political discussions on the subject, binary, without leeway for the grey areas that exist. EVs are not perfect, but let's not pretend ICE is, nor synthetic fuel (at $4/gal, show me where?! Porsche even admitted it was something like $40/gallon today - https://www.motortrend.com/features/porsche-supercup-efuel-direct-air-carbon-capture/). Are there massive negative environmental consequences of electric cars? Yes. Are they objectively cleaner over their lifetime versus the average combustion vehicle? Most certainly yes. Here's a video breaking it down, with cited sources so you don't have to guess where the numbers came from: https://youtu.be/6RhtiPefVzM
