There’s also an argument for removing or perhaps a better term “relocating” the exhaust fumes (and let’s admit it, those are not great to breathe in), away from street level and out of built-up areas. Oils for lubricating an ICE are also not required. I remain on the fence though. There’s still a massive debate about what to do with the sheer number of batteries that are end of life too. Like nostr, it’s still early days but agree with one thing; I’d like to see more “pure” EVs with minimal tech.
