No, current electrical cars of all types actually pollute more then normal fully fuel based ones. When the technology advances a little more they will be actually viable. Like most "environmentally friendly" things currently on the market.

this part. Tis true.



the batteries are also fucking horrible for the environment and are dead in about 7(?) years.


They are also easily recyclable and all major hybrid manufacturers have recycling programs for them.

I agree that its good they can be recycled because the creation process is brutal on the environment.

The real bad guy at the moment though is full electric cars. Hybrids are actually relatively decent in comparison.
