Not really - these EVs require massive expenditures of energy and horrid pollution and environmental cost just to PRODUCE the VEHICLES themselves. From the minding of raw materials for the batteries to the energy and pollution cost to actual production - they are horrific.

And never mind the slave labor used in the mining of several of the materials used...

The EV push is nothing but a feel-good power grab.

My point was: the ONLY way it makes sense is to use non-CO2 emitting electric power to recharge the batteries.

Even then, that is only if one thinks that CO2 is ‘bad’.

As far as I’m concerned, my coffee trees will appreciate ALL the CO2 you care to send them

They also have another 'swell' feature - ruptured batteries that burn for days after an accident compromises them.

Richard Hammond can speak volumes about this.
