Your standard Tesla battery has made more pollution in its creation, than an ICE engine will create its entire life.

I'd like to see more information about this. I've been non-trusting of the EV push anytime environmentalism is thrown into the picture. There is some level of brainwashing for profits that is going on here and I fear that in 5-10 years a lot of people are going to suffer because of this when the batteries fail and they cost more than the car to get another one.

I think EV's are awesome when it comes to speed though, some of those electric race cars leave ICE's in the dust and that is just fine. But as far as mandating that the population MUST buy EV's is something I find very fishy.
