(may be broke/outdated!)
i learned this from my teacher in social science, that 10-15 years ago the hydroelectric car was invented by a Filipino but the Philippines didn’t have the money to support his invention so he sold it to the Japanese, but what if it was supported and we didn’t need to make use of oil anymore the economy of the people in southwest Asia would go down and the pollution would lessen but the people in s.w. Asia might start a war i don’t know what do you think?, this is just my opinion.

The quick refueling times and growing petroleum infrastructure enjoyed by users of gasoline vehicles, which facilitated long-range travel, made the low-range, largely city-only functionality of the electric car a fatal disadvantage. The mass production of gasoline vehicles by companies such Ford reduced their prices to nearly 50% of that of equivalent electric cars, resulting in their disappearing from important markets such as the United States by the 1930s.
Today, the electric car is far superior to the early generation electrics with modern battery technology and lower cost compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) cars.
For example, the batteries of the Tesla electric car cells are manufactured in Japan where there are relatively strict environmental laws, and meet the RoHS standards. They are mostly made of lithium metal oxides with zero lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBBs or PBDEs. In fact, there no heavy metals, nor any toxic materials. Tesla says that, by law, its battery cells could be landfilled, though that’s not what they actually do.
So the batteries might not go straight from cars to recycling, but when they eventually do, Tesla will be working with Kinsbursky Brothers, Inc.(KBI)/Toxco to:
* maximize the amount of materials that can be reused
* maximize the amount of materials that can be recycled
* minimize energy consumption utilized during the transportation and recycling process
In practice, the cells are sent to a hammer mill that turns them into pulp (second photo in this post). They then separate the elements and re-use what can be re-used (cobalt, aluminum, nickel, and copper, etc).
So the battery pack saves thousands of gallons of gasoline/diesel over the life of the vehicle, it is less toxic than the lead-acid batteries that are in regular cars, and at the end of its life it is recycled (which is more than can be said about most things in our society).
The Tesla, and electric vehicles in general, are certainly not perfect and there’s lots of room for improvement. But it’s nowhere near as bad as those who think battery packs are toxic waste believe.
Why do we not have more electric vehicles on the highways?
The greed of the oil companies is holding back the advanced development and mass production of electric vehicles. If they can find a way to attack electric technology, they will do it.
The oil companies are running scared since, electric powered card can effectively run them out of business or close to it.
Yes, pollution around the world may decline with fewer vehicles spewing out toxic pollutants and fewer oil tankers in the oceans. Overall, it is a great idea for our planet to convert to cleaner technologies.
The wars you ask about may be fought in the media by the people who have the most to lose by attempting to convince people that oil and gas is better than electricity.
