It is worse than that. They use some rare earth minerals too and thus, they release around 50 tons of carbon dioxide per car compared to 20-30 tons of carbon dioxide per combustion car
bollocks to that, EV cars are enviromentally better. Sure, there’s problems there politically as per the idiotic plans to junk 8 gajillion ICE cars and replace them with new ones and such, but the concept is sound in the sense that it’s the least worst car. It’s just that least worst car is still pretty bad considering how they’re used and the whole endeavour about the EV car revolution is not about saving the planet, it’s about saving car sales
The upfront cost is higher but they win out over time and distance driven. They’re still bad for all the reasons cars are bad but they’re better then ice cars
