Don't want one? Don't buy one. The cycle of making a car starts with raw materials being extracted, refined, transported and manufactured into several components that will be assembled to produce the car itself. This process is very much the same in both conventional and electric cars. Nevertheless, at the end of the manufacturing process, electric cars are the ones generating more carbon emissions, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. Why is this? Because electric cars store energy in large batteries (the larger they are, the bigger their range is) that have high environmental costs. This happens because these batteries are made of rare earth elements (REE) like lithium, nickel, cobalt or graphite that only exist beneath the surface of the Earth and therefore depend on mining activities with very polluting processes.

No. Hydrogen is a non starter for personal transport. Could work for large public transport maybe. hydrogen cars are shrinking in sales and development cost. They are all posting money into EV’s, GM, Ford, Stellantis are all putting their efforts into EV’s and not much into hydrogen at all.

No rare earth elements (REE) in any battery that i am aware of FYI. Catalytic converters on ICE vehicles have more REE’s than an EV battery. That is why theft is so popular of catalytic converter is cause of all the REE’s in them…. Educate yourself on the matter would be advisable. list of the all the Rare Earth Elements on earth…. https://www.thermofisher.com/blog/mining/can-you-name-all-17-rare-earth-elements/ none of the things you listed in your battery list is a REE or rare on earth or hard to mine.

Inconvenient truths…. Expect you to ignore….. omg I guess rare earths arent bad!!! Am I right???? For example, 26% of rare earths are used worldwide as catalysts in the petroleum industry and in catalytic converters for internal combustion engine cars. About 20 to 23% are used in the manufacture of permanent magnets for electric motors. https://www.sneci.com/blog/are-rare-earths-an-issue-in-the-production-of-ev-batteries/ Edited April 16, 2023 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the life of a vehicle (couple 100k) does an EV produce less life cycle emissions then a comparable ice vehicle? Especially when considering all the REE mining requirements for ice vehicles over their lifespan? Petroleum requires constant feedstock of REE’s to make a gallon. You mentioned REE’s in earlier post and just trying to see where your stance is? Also are you aware that ICE vehicles and the petroleum industry uses more REE’s then the EV’s. Tesla actually has vehicles in development that use essentially 0 REE’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree there is a small market they are suited for but in those instances they are a great innovation IMHO.

True EV’s are nothing like what your son has. I frequently put 2 adults on road trips with 10 days of luggage in the trunk,frunk and backseats and have over 39000 miles of 400 mile plus trips and my experience with a ground up non compromised EV is different then your son’s.
