Damned if you do, damned if you don't.  This is why we need to figure out a new battery solution. Everything runs on Lithium Ion, sodium based batteries are still a ways away but they look promising. I  drive a Nissan Leaf from 2016 and my next car will also be electric but it has nothing to do with some delusion of grandeur. It's like retro sci-fi...it's cool tech. Humans will always be a plague on the environment, hopefully we can embrace advancement to lesson that though.
