why does no one mention the very salient fact that the production and replacement of the vehicles and batteries all use either hydro, coal, nuclear, petroleum or natural gas to power the factories and that their carbon footprint is much larger than all the vehicles on the road today. Disposal of these "green" products also has a mega huge impact for those looking to replace their so-called "green" vehicle. are people just stupid or ignorant? does keeping ones head in the sand make all these issues go away? or is the bigger issue that if you go electric you are somehow contributing to the longevity of the planet?
face it...if you want renewable energy you have to solve these problems FIRST and yet it is rarely mentioned because that would actually require a completely new energy source than sol and wind.
now please go plug in your electric vehicle and ignore all the issues....you'll feel better...like giving the homeless person begging for money(and has a dog)who may make more than you do.
