You are incorrect. A study by VW showed that the CO2 breakeven point is somewhere between 75-100,000km. The batteries are forecast to last about this long. The best part about this study was that it was an ICE golf ve and eGolf. So same chasis, aero dynamics everything. We will get there eventually, maybe with silicon batteries, maybe ot…

The best part about this study was that it was an ICE golf ve and eGolf. So same chasis, aero dynamics everything. We will get there eventually, maybe with silicon batteries, maybe other technologies yet to be invented or still in the development phase, of which there are many. However many car makers have already dropped lithium ion due to it's cost, complexity, CO2 footprint and fire risk - remember the car carrier that burnt for days?
Battery recycling also coming. We are however asking a toddler to compete in the Olympics. The technologies are not sufficiently evolved yet to be relied upon, especially at commercial scale. Let alone the inability of most grids to support a full EV fleet.
Be careful. The world is chock a block full of virtue signaling BS'rs from people who are more interested in ideologies than science, engineering and commerciality.
The sooner these morons (starting with technologically illiterate politicians) are removed from the public sphere and we listen to engineers we will have a chance to get to a better and greener future.
