Electric vehicles (EVs) are hailed as the future of transportation, promising zero emissions and cleaner air. Yet, critics point out that producing EV batteries involves mining rare minerals with environmental costs. Also, the electricity powering EVs often comes from fossil fuels, depending on the region. Despite these challenges, EVs generally have a smaller carbon footprint than traditional cars over their lifetime. As renewable energy expands and battery tech improves, EVs are expected to become even greener. So, while not perfect, switching to electric cars is a crucial step toward reducing global pollution and fighting climate change.
