Can we limit this thread to the original question – are electric cars are better for the environment than ICE cars. The answer is an obvious yes.
Mining ore’s for batteries is also better for the environment than drilling / transporting / refining oil for ICE fuels.
However, oil is used for much more than just ICE fuel, so we are dependent upon oil for decades to come…
Kind regards
