ev main purpose is not I repeat not to make it more environmental better. its just serve as an alternative to fossil fuel .
our world current way of producing electricity is still harmful to the environment.
unless only renewable energy such as solar panels is massy adopted.
and thirdly I see those ppl installing solar in their house and talks about money save or money earn ( if can ) its just running round and round 10 year cycle period.
all also talked roi here and there but after 10 years. they repeat the same thing. that is invest again in whatever form and wait another 10 years.
If your reason for saying ev is not environmentally good is due to batteries, I can still agree.
But if you say it's because of "dirty electricity", I have to disagree.
Our power plants are more efficient than an ICE car can ever be. It means, less wastage of energy from power plant compared to ICE cars. Power plants recover the heat from flue gas by having a waste heat boiler/recovery/heater, whereas in cars you actually need to spend energy (radiator fan) to remove excess heat from engine.
Let's not mention how ICE cars require petrol and diesel - something that requires energy to produce.
Also, fuels need to be distributed to petrol stations around the country by road tankers, further consuming energy.
