New study finds that electrifying SUVs could *increase* emissions by gobbling up scarce battery material that could otherwise help electrify smaller cars (not to mention e-bikes, minicars, etc).

@davidzipper yes. And then there is the question I have. How is said electricity produced? Many places still use COAL which is incredibly bad for the environment. The health and environmental impact of coal - from how its mined (mountaintop removal anyone?) fly ash and the pollutants produced in a coal fired plant - all to make electricity. Is that a productive efficient way to produce power for electric autos etc?
