They are not any greener than a standard car. That's just what you've been told. It takes energy to mine the lithium, purify the lithium, build the lithium batteries, to charge those batteries and to dispose of them properly. Energy is not free.

I literally linked you a very detailed article explaining all the math.

Lol this guy "that's what you've been told" which is just projection for how they get their information.

It's absolutely hilarious because the only reason he's arguing against proven facts is because that's what he's been told.

Thank you for sharing the truth even though, in here, the truth is harrased by fossil fuel industry stooges and ignorance.
