When the subject is the environmental impact of any technological objects, especially if you compare 2 technologies, you have to talk about full life cycle. Otherwise, it is only a collection of useless anecdotes. Furthermore if you transform the subject to it seems a critic about one company. Presently, full life cycle indicates that electrical vehicles are better for environnement than fossil vehicle, even in country using coal as a source of power. Yes, this isn't perfect, but you can make a full collection of anecdote associated with fossil vehicle. It seems you have a personal grudge with Tesla. Deal with this company if you have a problem with them, not with a technology and a subject you have a bad understanding.<br><br>If you really want to fully to talk about the electric vehicle, you need to read some scientific papers about these subjects, and probably interview some specialists. Not a collection of news articles. I don't say these are false. Yes there is many problems (in all mining industry in fact, so all our technologies are a problem from this point of view), and we probably can make things better. But we need to use sciences on theses subjects, not emotions.
