Eli5: are electric cars greener?

1.09K viewsEngineeringOther

Clarkson and others always ask the question, ‘where does the electricity come from?’

There are other stats that say it’s only better after a certain amount of miles driven or that the Lithium quarries produce significant amount of pollution.

What and where do these claims come from, how true are they and how false are they?

Yes, something is burned somewhere. But I trust the emission standards of a few regulated power plants over millions of unmaintained vehicles.
