Opps......Some FACTS about owning an electric car.....................the manufacture of a single Tesla Model Y battery requires moving some 250 tons of soil to obtain the needed metals (lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt), not counting hundreds more pounds of aluminum, steel, graphite and plastic that are needed. “The Caterpillar 994A is used for earthmoving to obtain the essential minerals. It consumes 264 gallons of diesel in 12 hours,”............................................................... manufacturing EVs requires six times the minerals and metals as an internal combustion engine vehicle..........you’ll have to replace that EV battery every eight years or so—at a cost of $15,000 to $25,000! And you would be starting the whole carbon footprint cycle all over again.......... EVs, which are much more expensive to fix after an accident or breakdown than their internal combustion counterparts.
