I thought there was a generator component also.
The only thing stopping electric cars from taking over the market (besides points made here: infrastructure) is range & affordability. The affordability will become better, but the range, at theoretical maximum (stable) power density of a battery can only double (batteries will never have the energy density of gasoline – simply not possible – at least not without basically creating a highly unstable bomb – ever see a battery explode? ). The advantages of electric cars is that, even if they draw ALL their power from fossil fuel generation plants, they can use up to 50% less energy when you consider cradle-to-grave aspects of power-line transmission losses, power conversion losses, comparative efficiency of ICE vs Motors (Motors being at least 5X more efficient), gas pump infrastructure, fuel processing & transport, environmental cleanups (in the US, there are over 1000 reported fuel leaks as service stations), and so much more. As far as lithium mining is concerned: lithium is infinitely reusable, coal, gas, oil is not. To run a Tesla 100K miles (usable life span of the battery), you would need about 65Kg of lithium carbonate – figuring out how much, say coal, would have to be mined, and you're talking orders of magnitude more mining!

Even if you convert your car to electric, the electricity still comes from carbon emissions.
P.S Electric cars ain't new. Remember the 'Tiny Green Car' from the movie 'Sleepover'? That's a Nissan Hypermini and was manufactured from the late 90s to early 2000s. Of course, thanks to the Fast and Furious series, the car didn't do that well.
Cars are too heavy. That is a huge part of the problem. If they were foam fibre and plastic they could be very lightweight, efficiency would go way up. But all the existing cars would have to come off the road for safety
The damage done by hydro dams is often forgotten. Millions of acres flooded in the name of "green" energy.
You throw away a perfectly good car for a new expensive electric one if you want to virtue signal.
but remember- at the end of the day, its fossil fuel thats transformed into electricity that really runs an electric vehicle.
well until electric vehicles can do 500 to 1000 kilometers/300 to 600 miles their no use to me…
