Gasoline-powered cars have long been the preferred mode of transportation for most individuals due to their convenience and widespread availability. However, as society becomes more aware of the environmental impact of fossil fuels, the pros and cons of gas cars have come under major observation.

 The production and disposal of electric car batteries can have a significant environmental impact. The mining of materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel for battery production can result in habitat destruction, water pollution, and carbon emissions. Additionally, the disposal of used electric vehicle batteries poses a challenge in terms of proper recycling and management. However, it is important to note that advancements in battery technology and the shift towards more sustainable practices in the industry are working to mitigate these concerns.

Efficiency, cost, and performance, we can gain a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of each option. On one hand, gas cars offer a higher range and quicker refueling times than their electric counterparts. Additionally, gas cars have a more established infrastructure with readily accessible gas stations.

Although electric cars seem to be healthier for the environment that is not completely true, EVs need a battery to run, which requires the mining and extraction of minerals like lithium and cobalt. These extraction processes often have negative environmental impacts, including habitat destruction and pollution. Furthermore, the manufacturing of electric car batteries also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. but to make that battery you need lithium and to make a Tesla Model Y you need 1700 pounds of it. While gas is very bad for the environment, so is energy. The leading way energy is made is by burning fossil fuels. And leading studies say that burning fossil fuels is worse than burning gas.
