This is also a important example of how much less crap there is in a electric vs ICE vehicle.

Yes the battery materials are mined (so are many other things) but the sheer subtraction of these various mechanisms from a electric vehicle greatly reduces the environment impact not to mention a great reduction in fluids required.

Dealers hate this one hack as the service requirements are fairly low too.

There are also idiots claiming we should ban electric vehicles because they charge on an unclean grid

I actually saw a petition for this is my country’s local government website

  This is like closing a shop to prevent robbers.
  
  Surely the solution is to make the grid they charge off of sustainable then???

    Too expensive. It’s easier to just ban electricity, and go back to the good ol’ days of natural gas powered appliances.
