The horrible lie about EVs being ecological must stop. Do people seriously not realize how much environmental damage manufacturing those batteries does? I find it absolutely pathetic how everyone's just willing to ignore facts that don't suit their narrative so here are some:
Manufacturing batteries for one car creates about 16 tonnes of CO2.
Running a petrol engine car for a year creates about 2-4 tonnes of CO2.
To make an EV actually more ecological you'd need to run it for about 200000 miles, now show me an EV with more than 200k miles on it.

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.
