For all of you who support the notion that electric cars are a "good thing"...
Electric cars are powered by batteries. Read on...
What is a battery?' I think Tesla said it best when they called it an Energy Storage System. That's important.
Batteries do not make electricity- they simply store electricity produced by elsewhere by another means- primarily by coal, uranium, natural gas-powered plants, or diesel-fueled generators. So, to say an EV is a zero-emission vehicle is not at all valid.
In fact, it's an outright lie.
The battery does not create the electricity that moves the car down the road- as stated, it is only the storage device, like a gas tank in a car.
But that is not half of it. For those of you excited about electric cars and a green revolution, I want you to take a closer look at batteries.

Today's battery tech is anything but green. It is predominantly lithium-ion based. There are real environmental issues with these. Their efficiency diminishes over time. They have typically a limited lifetime of recharges. As result you must dispose and replace.

Look into it and I think that you will see that manufacturing and disposal of current tech batteries is dirty.

I have seen some info on hemp based battery tech which if true could be a game changer.
