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.

With regard to electric cars, one of the issues I foresee in the future is with the batteries. Although electric cars are cleaner to run than ICE, when we all convert to hybrid and full electric cars in the future we’re quickly going to have millions of lithium batteries to dispose of and these could be around for many years after the car if not recycled properly.
I doubt the electric really is that much better for the environment over its entire lifespan of the car.
