Still think electric cars is the way to go?

The fact remains that they are no “greener” than a model T.

That’s not a fact at all, that’s just your opinion. If it were a fact, you could support it with actual data, not random memes from the internet.

Electric cars aren’t going to “save the planet” like some claim, that’s true. But neither will doing nothing. Battery technology is still improving, lithium batteries will be obsolete in 10 years. Internal combustion engines are pretty much tapped out for improvements.

Not mentioned, the environmental issues caused by battery production.
Will we start encasing batteries in concrete like we did with nuclear waste. Big picture, they aren’t emitting carbon from fossil fuel consumption

no belief in global warming ? I’m out

Lithium batteries can be recycled. It’s an expensive process so it’s not done widely enough at the moment to handle the current level of production. But pretty soon it will be be necessary, because at the current rate of lithium production we’ll have run out of lithium in about 20 years.

But again, getting hung up on lithium is short sighted, as there is new battery tech already in the works to replace it.
