I find this ignorance really frustrating that people believe purchasing an electric car is somehow environmentally neutral. People should be educated on the environmental toll of EV production, lithium mining, tire pollution etc.

    First, assuming battery replacement is required in the life of the vehicle doesn’t hold up against real life. It’s mostly happened due to battery design issues (LEAF, Bolt), not batteries dying before the rest of the vehicle.

    Second, nobody is saying EV manufacturing is cleaner, but the operation of an EV is far cleaner than an ICE.
