Seems entirely reckless.  It looks so green and lovely on the surface like you're saving the world, but the amount of crap that gets pumped out making, then disposing to make the batteries, and then on the back end the further waste dumping those large dead battery sets for those cars is awful.  You're just shifting the funk from one crappy means to another, then hiding it under a cute bubbly green loving lie mouthing off about decreased carbon footprints.  I'm shocked, maybe sad a little, no one ever call this crap out in mass scale.

Car production in general is terrible, but let's not kid ourselves. The oil industry needs to die entirely, and sooner better than later.

It's embarassing how long it's been taking.

That is not a particularly realistic goal, given how many petroleum-based (non-fuel) products exist in critical industries.

Exactly I wasn't just thinking cars and never do when it comes to oil.  It's one of the biggest backbones to all sorts of stuff, mainly a massive one, PLASTIC production.  To lose oil, even taking the combustion engine out of the picture, would be devastating.
