To get any kind of range in a Boxster it’d have to be nuclear powered ;)

Lots of informative videos out there suggesting not.

The amount of materials dug out of the earth to build just one battery is quite eye opening. Saying they are Green is simply hiding the true environmental costs elsewhere. See no evil, hear no evil.

It's also estimated that if we changed every car to electric, it would only save approx 10% of global oil use.

A quick search suggests that 74% of every barrel of oil produced goes to make petrol (45%) and diesel (29%). Also, are BMW now using batteries that don’t rely at all on rare metals? Tesla batteries have been cobalt free for some time I think 🤔

Just one of many video's below. The agenda is `Electric is good` and (like Covid vaccines) anything said otherwise is a conspiracy theory.

I’m not easily led enough to buy into crap like this Wab (or any conspiracy theory), I prefer to gather facts from multiple sources over time and internet videos certainly isn’t one of them… 😂😂😂
