Hello Everyone,
I consider buying an EV(preferably S or 3) and have a question regarding pollution of EV's.
I have read that producing Li-ion Batteries is a very polluting process and that highly toxic metals are used.
so is producing a battery for an EV that will eventually will need to be replaced at some point does not negate from the zero emissions the car gives(plus the fact that my electricity will be mostly produced with coal and natural gas)?
one of the reasons I consider an EV is reducing my CO2 emissions so it is really important to me, please answer objectively
Thank you for your time!
