Are electric car good for the environment. A new british study show that electric car might not be green as the environmentalist.The factories pollution that mades batter and electric car has a bigger carbon footprint.Then a gas-burning vehicles until it's traveled 80,000 miles, according to the research, which was financed by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership. Does this mean electric cars aren't good for the planet after all.Electric vehicles produce just as much carbon in their overall cycle as internal-combustion engines, they need to replace the batteries actually makes them less green than current technology." If you want a cleaner way to get around, "the answer is natural gas, not electric vehicles.Making batteries takes a lot of energy, and EVs require several batteries, while gas-powered vehicles have just one. But, as the study shows, electric and hybrid vehicles "still have lower carbon footprints than normal cars" over the long haul, so driving them will do the earth some good.Battery manufacturing is an energy intensive process, as is recycling and reclamation. A normal cars use batteries, of course, but only one per car rather than a bank of batteries. Moving to all-electric vehicles would mean an explosion of manufacturing, recycling, and disposal, none of which the US or the UK are prepared to handle.Where do we put the dead batteries
