I agree they are not the win we need for the global level of climate change (in addition to the very real issues with making the batteries). But if we were to fix those major issues in how the batteries are made, I think that the emissions reductions would be at least good if living in major urban centres. Reducing any air quality issues in those spaces matters for health, and distances are more in-line with driving distances EVs have. Though I know that the battery making process would only be pushed to fixing its issues after profit motives are removed. So I guess revolution will need to happen really really soon if we want to both get that sorted out and for more resources going into other alts (and really building up needed public transportation).
