To manufacture each E.V. auto battery, the following material must be processed: 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper.

All told, suppliers must dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth’s crust for just one battery. Sixty-eight percent of the world’s cobalt, a significant part of an E.V. battery, comes from the Congo, where they have no pollution controls and minimal regulation, and they employ children, who die from handling this toxic material.

There are no emissions directly from an E.V. itself. However, there are many from mining operations. These facts are not generally publicized.

Don’t get me wrong, EV.s can be part of the solution, but doing away with fossil fuels like what California wants to do is not a viable alternative at this time.

There are, in fact, so many, that I can "roll coal" from a dirty, deleted, diesel truck for it's entire life of 500,000 miles, and it still would produce less pollution and environmental damage than just producing an EV (before it even leaves the sales lot).

There are emissions of course from gas, coal and oil powered electricity generating plants. Plug the EV into the charger and you are connected "directly" into the missions producing power plant.

“EV.s can be part of the solution”

Solution to what problem?

EV.s can be part of the solution,

Solution to WHAT?

Anthropogenic "climate change" is a scam, a fraud, and a lie.

So what "problem" are you trying to solve?
