Smart!

OldOllie,
Infact, they are. The process involved in creating those batteries is very bad for the enviroment. Add to that the fact that they are highly toxic and most isnt recycable. When disposed of they cause massive enviromental damage.

Then think that the average life for a lithium car battery is 5 years. A lot of damage if everybody had one needing replacement every few years... but enviromentalists just look at the CO2, not the total effect on the earth. Infact, we would even have to drive the new car for 25 years to make up the diffence in CO2 for the manufacturing process alone.

Dont get me wrong, electric cars are the future, but the current batteries dont last long enough, are too enviromentally damaging and dont hold enough charge. Then add the fact that most electricity is generated from coal. We either need better batteries or liquid hydrogen.

Jack796,
