From American Thinker:
Little Green Lies: Why Electric Cars Won’t Save the Environment
Things don’t look good for electric cars these days -- but did they ever? Tesla experienced a series of recalls, even before the recent crash in Florida that put the company’s autopilot system in the spotlight. Apparently, watching a Harry Potter movie and letting your car drive isn’t exactly a safe practice.
But the real problem with electric cars is actually the problem they’re marketed to solve: pollution. While the left insists that electric cars are the only way to protect the environment, they’re actually damaging the oil industry while shifting money to liberal interests.
Meanwhile, electric cars have proven to be a greater source of pollution than traditional vehicles.
Nice analysis - where does the energy to charge come from? Coal. How about the huge environmental impact of mining for the battery components? And manufacture? Well thought out with lots of links.
I would love to have one if they were practical but that would be just for the novelty and not from any desire to "save the planet". The planet is doing fine.
