Eli5: are electric cars greener?

1.07K 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?

Even if it were a diesel generator, one big engine is more efficient than hundreds or thousands of little engines.
