u/TableSurface can't reply to your comment for some reason. So I'll do it like this:
Did you actually read the article? It had a battery pack replaced TWICE. That car alone caused more environmental damage than a fleet of Hellcats. That's kinda exactly what I was on about here.

This is incorrect. EPA has a website dedicated to disproving myths around EVs, it even includes the exact myth that you posted. Take a look: https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/electric-vehicle-myths#Myth2

Yeah I deleted the comment after I realized the article was a terrible example. You got a really good point and more focus should be put on the battery within EVs. Even though the "car" can last far beyond 200k miles, the battery must last at least as long in order to become more ecological compared to combustion engines. Battery manufacturing obviously needs to be improved.
