Financially the EV’s make a lot of sense but environmentally they aren’t the miracle we’re all led to believe. Modern Petrol and Diesels (especially with the adblue) are producing a lot less crap than they used to, and the only way the press and industry make EV’s out to be the miracle they claim is by ignoring the large additional amounts of CO2 involved in the production of the cars which is, I believe substantially higher than a standard car. In the short term at least EV’s are actually worse, the benefits will only come with time, but they hopfully will come. Of course there’s the end-of-life situation to account for – what impact is going to be felt when it’s time to get rid of all of those old batteries etc?
I’m NOT anti-EV but I like to try to see all sides of something, as opposed to just swallowing the one-sided hype hook, line and sinker.
