Azzy there is no doubt that ev technology is much more environmentally friendly than fossil fuel. Most of the components and elements that make up the batteries are re-cyclable. We do have to change our mindset driving ev’s, which might make us safer drivers. Dont forget the recommendation is that you should take a break after every 2 hours of driving on the basis of safety. So by getting into that mindset stopping to recharge will become second nature.
Having said that even at 70mph the likes of the e-Niro and Kona will give you 4 hours of driving.
The rumour is that Tesla have developed a battery that will be good for 1million miles plus and there should be an announcement about this on 22nd September.
We need to embrace change not just for ourselves but for future generations.
