Do electric cars really have a smaller carbon footprint?

2.31K views

Will there not be just as much of a carbon footprint from mining materials to make batteries for all the new electric cars?

And all the precious metals that go into making electronics to make that car operate?

Plus the power generation associated with charging everyone’s vehicle.

It’s my first day, but I’m here to learn something new

Just my thinking. That electricity for EV needs to come from somewhere.. and a lot of electricity in Europe is made in thermal power plants, so coal is used, etc..

Only benefits is that you dont pollute in your local environment, but 1000 miles away where is that powerplant.. someone needs to calculate what is worse..
