No, you claimed:

Production of batteries, handling discarded batteries, breaking of minerals FOR the batteries, and producing the electricity have all been shown to be worse for the environment than than the entire life of a traditional car

Furthermore, when asked about a source for these claims, you come out swinging with the ever popular “no, you” defense.

Again, link your sources (MIT study) please.

Great, it’s better if you link them where the claims were made though.

I hadn’t heard of earth.org so I looked them up: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/earth-org-bias/

Not too bad. Though I’m well versed in battery tech and industry, it’s an incredibly dirty industry, coming with cited, fair sources is paramount.
