Gregory's Server@bouriquet @davidho The same goes for ICE cars: How much fuel and electricity had to be burnt for your petrol to get to your local pump? To get cracked in the refinery? Oil to be transported to the refinery? And drilled out of the earth? And your car then throws away at least 60% of that energy away in a super-inefficient combustion engine ! Think!
@theron29 @davidho And one more question: what is the impact of lithium mining, transport and refining of the lithium, recycling (we hope)of the spent battery pack and replacing it with a new one?
Nothing is perfect. But which has less overall impact on the Earth as we know it today?
Will electricity companies have enough generating capacity if we all switch from ICE?
