Interestingly, I have learned from a credible source that the particulate pollution from BEVs is far worse than from gasoline cars, because it is mostly nanoparticlea of highly toxic metals, not mostly carbon like it is from gasoline cars (although there is some brake dust also).

Not to mention…the major carbon footprint created by the generation of the electricity used! And what about the environmental impact of all the lithium fields for the batteries. And the recycling of those batteries?? This is not about the environment….it’s about CONTROL!

It takes a lot more C02 to produce an EV compared with normal car. In fact you need to drive for several years (on renewable electricity) to make up for the difference.
