I know that gas vehicles produce gasses that pollute the atmosphere and electric vehicles don’t emit anything which is good. But even in the perfect scenario where you’re going from solar, to battery, to car the components are still made of parts that can’t be recycled. The batteries have acids that need to be disposed of somehow. At a large scale wouldn’t all this excess chemical waste be just as much a pollutant than gas vehicle emissions?

Many years ago in college we had a big discourse on this topic. I think when you factor in the pollution created by electric power plants it’s not really a much better solution. Even solar panels are essentially a transitional technology but certainly not a long term solution
