A recent scientific study in Sweden , [ most of the battery minerals are mined in that area ] , has shown that, just to produce a Tesla sized battery , produces as much emissions as driving a petrol or diesel car for 8 years .
And as the life of the batteries is not much more than that , overall electric cars produce more emissions than a petrol/ diesel car .

Even without the buying subsidy , electric cars are very expensive , & the value drops enormously meaning that in a few years they are worth nothing .

Both Glasses guide here & Kelleys in the US have the value dropping like a stone . And less than 25% of buyers would buy another .

So , no good if you drive a lot of miles , very very expensive overall , & not as green as the propaganda wants you to believe .


PS . The electric truck claimed by Tesla needs 20 ton batteries to do 400 miles , & costs about twice as much as normal .So half the payload for twice the price , that will work really well ??????
