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?

Thing is that you can produce electricity from nuclear, wind, hydro-electric, tidal, solar, geothermal.

You can’t use fossil fuels in a clean way.

All the other reasons they claim apply equally to ice vehicles.
