And where do you think the precious metals in your ICE car come from?https://money.cnn.com/2018/05/02/investing/daimler...
Fact is, EV's are by far the greenest cars you can buy, not just because they are mechanically simple, but also because they are some of the latest cars to be built, which means they are built on production lines specifically installed with low energy and low carbon overheads. For example, the BMW i production line is mostly carbon neutral in it's energy requirements etc.
So, whilst no car is ever truly "green" a modern EV is just about the best you can get

And how much Cobalt is there in an ICE compared to a EV?
As for efficient and green production lines, some even use tents getting rid of the automation and claim its more efficient than with, not sure how that equates to the latest tech
And green emissions are usually quoted against the average diesel made 5 years ago and not the latest euro standard ones but even so, if nothing else, an EV doesn't pollute outside a school

Yeah... we don't really bother arguing with these s
tposts in here anymore. I guess an EV isn't for you. Believe whatever you like about them.
Do you mean you can’t argue with the statement? That’s how you come across. tposts in here anymore. I guess an EV isn't for you. Believe whatever you like about them.Or are you another blind EVer in the mould of Gangzoom? Fingers in the ears, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, I can’t hear you?

If you're referring to my post, fort he record I'm on my second Tesla, but that doesn't mean I believe every piece of misguided EVangelism I read tposts in here anymore. I guess an EV isn't for you. Believe whatever you like about them.StottyGTR said:
In the DRC some of the mined cobalt isn't verified so it could come from child workers, due to this the manufacturers are taking action to ensure this doesn't continue.
It's not really off putting at all.
DRC is right up there with how not to run a country. Nothing will be changing in the next few years either...It's not really off putting at all.
