Are electric cars the future?

Governments don't know what to do other than follow Woke guidelines and drugged scientists who don't understand each other.

Part of problem in politics is lobbying. People with good or bad interests persuade politicans to make decisions.

I'm surprised that representatives of the oil industry are no longer able to lobby as much as they used to.

They already got quite a good run there   Seriously I think it's because EV:s started to succeed at unstoppable rate, green energy is popular thing and basically they have good revenue available from "green" energy also. They did not fear of going bankrupt anytime soon (even EV:s need lubricants).

It may seem so, but even in normal cars there is already oil lifetime fill.

It's only lifetime fill if you want it be a short lifetime   Quantity will drop over time but still there is oil to sell for long time. I like the fact that EV:s produce less waste during use. Now I'm wondering should I buy second car as EV or not 

Just like combustion engines, they consume little oil if they are not replaced, but then they have a short lifespan. However, they wear out more tires and brake pads because they are heavier. EVs produce rare but serious pollution in the form of used batteries.
Until I have to, I have no use for an EV car. nevertheless, as I said, I know that there are niche applications for them

I have been thinking that buying used EV is quite good option. Keeping what's already produced on the road is best approach IMHO. Nowadays we gave good small EV services that do repair batteries rather than replacing them.

Batteries can only be repaired by replacing the cell, so you still have to do something with the damaged ones. Of course, this is better than replacing the whole thing, but it still generates waste that is difficult to recycle. The combustion engine and oils are very easy to recycle, but batteries are not.

Here in Finland battery recycling is getting better and better but still it's difficult. If i'm correct recycling car batteries is the easiest task. Chemistry is known. Small drills etc. anything small working with lithium is battery is the bad thing. Very difficult to recycle because mostly chemistry is unknown. Knowing chemistry allows to select correct procedures for recycling.
