soooo what exactly is the protocol for somebody trapped in their burning vehicle that takes 4 hours worth of time and resources to put out after an accident? @elonmusk
so yes, EV’s at the end of the day are still going to be slightly more ecofriendly than petrol vehicles in longetivity. But contrary to peoples belief that they’re completely environmentally friendly is an uneducated assumption.
PSA, Tesla stans, if you use coal-fired power plants to produce the electricity, then all-electrics don’t even look that much better than a traditional vehicle in terms of greenhouse gases.. the light-weight metals they require come from environmentally destructive mines.
for example: at this mine, those rare earths amounted to 0.2 percent of what gets pulled out of the ground. The other 99.8 percent, now contaminated with toxic chemicals, is DUMPED BACK INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.
