You don't need an electric vehicle with a long range

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.

California will be main beneficiary though with cleaner air so who cares what’s happening in China, Africa, etc
