Yes, but have you looked at where the rare earth metals for the motors and lithium for the batteries? And where does the electricity come from to charge those batteries? Over the life of the vehicle, an electric car contributes more CO2 to the atmosphere than a similar gasoline vehicle. Not to mention the huge open pits to mine the lithium in Canada and child labor to mine the cobalt in Africa.

Evidently, you subscribe to the notion that somewhere there’s a free lunch. Face it. Today if we relied on horses for transportation we’d have a “horse $hit crisis!” Maybe you could “resurrect the vehicle” Al Capps had in the L’il Abner comic strips years ago. The thing had a gigantic horn on the front that gobbled up SMOG and produced clean air out of it’s tailpipe using the “energy” from the process for propulsion.
