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?

The simple answer here is no. Gas cars produce a *lot* of pollution. The “dirtiest” part of an electric car is the battery itself but to start it’s not nearly as bad as what burning gas produces, and electric batteries are recyclable, so a very large portion of it can still be reused. It’s really not even close.
