One thing bothers me about EV vehicles. They may be emission free, but what about the production of the fuel they need? That electricity has to come from somewhere - e.g. Coal fired generation plants (yuck), NG fired generation plants (somewhat better), Solar power (not reliable in northern Canada), hydro electric (not environmentally friendly, especially from deforestation, and biologic diversity), or wind power (not economical due to maintenance costs). Also solar, wind, and hydro have emission issues with their construction. Same with cars, both EV and ICE cars have a carbon foot print from their build process and supply chain costs. So which is really the most eco-friendly, lowest emission vehicle. A horse drawn vehicle - NOT. Even that has a high emission of methane - the most damaging of the green house gases. But enough said, lets all go EV, and watch the power grid collapse.
