I'm just curious on everyone's thoughts on electric cars now that we know there carbon footprint really isn't any different from a gas engine, especially when you factor in the mining for lithium.

I just had a friend that needed a replacement battery in there EV and it was $20,000. The shop wanted another $5000 disposal fee for the old battery and most tow companies will not tow an EV, he called a bunch before he found one that would tow it. Me personally will never own an EV, I would much prefer the sound of a V8 engine any day and there is many corporations out there that are working on cleaner burning fuels right now.
