I’m going to guess “all the precious metals in manufacturing of the EV are so much worse than my gas cars!” Nonsense that the oil industry has been shilling online with bots for years to slow adoption of EVs among specific demographics.
Even though this myth has been debunked a hundred times, by folks like MIT, and in Reuters they showed if you live in an area that’s exclusively renewable power like I do, then I actually broke even 4ish years ago; within 3 months of owning my EV.

I read one of the studies and they pitted a Prius vs a Leaf. Like the best possible and most efficient ICE car that is also a hybrid Vs one of the worst BEV and used it in a highway

I wonder what they thought that Prius’s battery was made out of. Must have been gas cells or something. Couldn’t be one of those pesky rare earth batteries.

Depending on when this “study” was done the Prius probably had a NiMH battery though.
