>I'm not even talking about how the electricity that goes in the cars is often far from clean, and how insane ecologically damaging it is to replace a perfectly working car with a new one. And what about the environmental impact of batteries... And so on.
You should! Except in regions where most electricity is generated from coal, it's far better to drive an EV than an ICE vehicle. And unless you drive the car on very rare occasions, it's also worth it to ditch the ICE for a new EV.
I suggest you watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjaUqUozwdc (with English translation, of course). The youtuber is French engineer who covers absolutely everything. The transcript is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KtiB4r-p35FeNb6jMv92HqR7..., which translate well to English with DeepL or Google Translate. All his sources are linked below the video, too (with peer-reviewed papers).
His previous video is on the issues that are specific with the battery themselves (sourcing, production, recycling, etc). It's a pretty deep dive, but there's so much to learn.
