0:24 Although both gas/diesel and EV/Hybrids are bad for the environment, EVs are significantly more harmful because most EVs use batteries of Lithium ion batteries like teslas do. Most lithium ion batteries have to be mined, and most people who mine these ores are paid nothing. Like cacao farmers and huge chocolate brands, the brands pay the farmers nothing
Do you even know shit about the battery production process? The mining of cobalt, lithium, and nickel is what harms the environment. They can cause multiple damages like fires, explosions, chemical reactions from their ejection because they contain those chemicals, and the probability of that happening to a Tesla because it’s the more iconic EV that uses lithium ion batteries is about like 60-80 percent of the time
@@BennyASuitGuy Let’s set the record straight: EVs are not more harmful than gas cars - they emit significantly less CO₂ over their lifetime, even when accounting for battery production and electricity generation. About 50% of lithium comes from Australia, while 70% of cobalt comes from the DRC (with efforts underway to reduce or eliminate its use), and nickel is primarily mined in Indonesia, Russia, and the Philippines. As for fires, gas vehicles are 20 times more likely to catch fire than EVs, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. While mining for battery materials has environmental impacts, oil extraction and refining for gas-powered cars cause far worse damage, including oil spills, air pollution, and massive contributions to climate change. Comparing EV batteries to the ongoing environmental destruction from fossil fuels is absurd - stop spreading misinformation and look at the facts.
@@BennyASuitGuy Agreeing to disagree doesn’t work when facts are involved. Yes, petroleum comes from around the world, but its extraction, refining, and burning contribute far more to climate change, air pollution, and environmental destruction than EV battery production ever will. Unlike oil, battery materials can be recycled and are improving in sustainability every year, while fossil fuels are a one-way ticket to a polluted future.
bro just cooked with this vid

@@yusufcanaktas6929 What you’re saying is that all the chemicals come from around the world, and so does petroleum, so, how about we agree to disagree
