Anyone advocating completely for electric vehicles is ignorant if they think they are being environmentally friendly.

There are so many fallacies in the thought process. Most batteries used in EVs utilize lithium ion technology. Mining lithium is a very energy intensive process that also causes extreme amounts of pollution. Lithium is usually found along with other heavy metals, which result in lots of pollution. It has gotten so bad that even China with their lack of regulatory oversight has even started cracking down on lithium mining.

Also, where do people think the electricity is coming from to charge the batteries?!?! Many of the power plants are utilizing fossil fuels. Take all this into account and a clean diesel is really better for the environment than an EV!
