EV’s are NOT cleaner than ICE vehicles. Many studies have been accomplished. When you add up the start to finish, EV’s at far dirtier than ICE. The mining of raw materials, shipping to process said raw materials for processing. More shipping of raw materials to the battery makers. More shipping to the car manufacturers. More shipping to the consumer. More shipping when the battery pack needs replacing. I didn’t even start with the electricity generation by most likely a coal fired plant. When ALL is added up, ICE emissions are drastically less over the life of a vehicle than an EV. EV’s “saving the planet” is a pipe dream. At least for the current technologies.
