Eli5: are electric cars greener?

1.06K 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?

I think an important part of this discussion is the fact that all the pollution that happens from electric cars happens far outside the cities, while combustion engine cars pollute the air around them everywhere they go.
