I weighed the factor of battery production against getting an EV when I first considered it. However the pros greatly outweighed the cons. One is I feel good about the EV is screwing over the petroleum companies, which charge about the highest per gallon prices in the country here. The other is screwing over the power company, which charges about the highest rates in the country here. Another is lack of & ease of maintenance. At 81, although I do more than most, I don't enjoy doing the usual maintainance on cars. With our solar panels (& being on the net metering program), we spend almost nothing to operate our house & my wife's car. I have my Ford T-350 for towing and hauling (I can get 4x8 sheets of plywood, sheet rock, etc in the back), and like to use it for camping in the desert and trips to the mountains. So for this period of time, I feel like I've made choices that are working out the best for us.
