Description
While it’s true that electric vehicles have zero emissions, did you ever think about what it takes to make just one electric vehicle? Apparently, the process of making a big chunk of Lithium-Ion batteries as well as their disposal is polluting since they aren’t recyclable.
Also, electric vehicles demand more electricity. That comes from thermoelectric or nuclear power plants, which are extremely dangerous because they’re choking the Earth. California would have to double its current electrical output to meet the rising demand for electric power and that will only raise the level of global pollution. This is actually far beyond what internal combustion engines are doing now.
If you own a home, you will need to install a charger. The lowest cost of one is $568.00, plus the cost of electricity.
The average price of an electric vehicle is about $55,000.00.
Look at 4/5 hours charging time, for about the same drive time and what have you gained?
Yes, we do have to ween ourselves from fossil fuels, but what's the cost in the meantime?
