I helped my high school kid with a few electric vehicle projects for Automotive class this year and was rather stunned by some of the figures.
The biggest complaint about electric vehicles is "you need to charge them from the grid which creates green house gasses". Fair enough. But, one research group - don't remember the name but they seemed reputable - did some research on the electricity required to pump and refine crude oil into gasoline or diesel. They included the electricity needed to pump oil from the ground on land as well as the diesel generation needed to run oil platforms at sea. They also included the electricity for the pumping stations along pipelines. Their estimates were staggering; enough electricity is used to pump oil in the USA to power 19,000,000 electric vehicle a month!
Also remember that most EV companies guarantee their batteries for 10 years and that a high percentage of the batteries can be recycled.
ICE engines have been in production for over 100 years and EVs are brand new compared. Give them time. And availability of charging stations is a red herring; they will come with demand. I know you can cross Northwestern Ontario (wilderness) in an electric vehicle with confidence because every small town has at least one bank of high speed charging stations.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
