Late to the party with my reply, but it is wrong to believe ICE engines polutes the air less than EV or do you think that gasoline in its pure form comes right to the rafinery? They do polute the air much more than you think and then all the reprocessing and refining polutes the air / earth more than mining for Li-Ion batteries.

Electric motors pollute the Earth more with its coal based power plants used to charge its batteries. Lithium batteries will enslave Germany to China main supplier of minerals.

I don't believe EV is any better for environment compared to ICE. only thing you do is export the emission somewhere else away from your eyesight. in order to use EV cars, you consume more fossil fuel for mining mineral needed for extra battery cells, process minerals to produce the cells and ship them overseas to car factories. replaced old batteries are also toxic wastes. I believe hydrogen fuelcells are more sustainable for the future.
