What about the issues around battery disposal for electric cars. The environmental issues around the manufacture of the car. The relatively short life of the batteries and the cost of replacement.
I'm not pooping on the electric car but isn't the overall emmissions of the whole lifecycle similar to the standard car, but the cost of keeping one on the road much greater?
I would think that it would be just as prudent to continue to improve engine efficiencies and burning technology on standard vehicles?
