Nobody even talks about the impact to the environment with all the mining that will be needed to make these batteries.
Guess what will be powering all that mining - fossil fuels.
What will power EVs - fossil fuels
We are just moving the air pollution from US to other parts of the world causing more damage to the earth.
EV industry is about making $$$ at the expense of the environment.
Instead of just Oil, now we are mining for rare earth materials with who knows the consequences…..

So many great posts on both sides.
If I had a daily commute of under 50 miles as I once did, I think I'd go straight to the PHEV as more cool models come available.
Nice balance, run my commute on the batteries.
Disclaimer, I don't know the details about PHEV's yet but if I understand it has a low range battery and ICE.
Lots of brands and models to choose from if I understand.
Hybrids are ok but not my thing, I don't want to hear the engine start and stop at every light.
PS- if I am wrong plz go easy on me, I always come to CL with empty pockets and come with what I know and don't lol
Unless I have to look up some technical stuff to help a member in the models forum, of course.
BTW, I've learned a lot from ya'll members.
