I don't see EVs truly viable until we have a power source that doesn't require a battery. Perhaps if they came up with batteries made from renewables that didn't destroy the surface of the planet to extract them it might be viable. It depends upon how much energy and material is required to produce them. If it is more than just going with internal combustion engine then that is what we call a CON.

I guess it depends on where battery technology goes. I don't think we are necessarily stuck with Lithium forever. Solid state batteries seem to be on the horizon which are potentially better in a number of ways and use different materials. I'm not sure of the environmental impact though. But yes, trying to force everyone to a new technology that really isn't ready is bound to have bad results. That's happening across the board with supposed "green" energy.
Yep. That's the biggest problem as far as I am concerned with "green".
It isn't really green.
