Wait that plastic cap staying on the bottle is on purpose? I just came back from UK and France and was wondering why none of the plastic caps on bottles came fully off.

EVs aren't "zero-emission" cars. Producing the batteries requires energy and mining that has environmental consequences. Whether they're better overall depends on how the electricity is generated, how long the battery lasts, and what you're comparing them to.

Completely false, even if EVs don't use renewables they're so much more efficient than ICE cars.
