The only all-electric car ever produced that hasn't used Li-Ion batteries was the GM EV-1, and they didn't even make that many. So I removed the bit about NiMH batteries.

| Aug 30, 2014 at 15:32 | comment | added | Mario Vernari | We cannot avoid the oil and gas usage because a lot of derived products are coming from them (plastic, soap, etc). So, whereas a pure-electric car would be a lot more efficient than a traditional engine, we should ask ourselves WHERE to pick all the Lithium (for instance) necessary to create billions of batteries. From this viewpoint, I'd seriously reconsider the "eco-friend-ness" of the electric car. | |

| Aug 14, 2014 at 8:53 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | It depends on how the car is used, for example our cars do so few miles that the best option is to drive old cars. But for someone that drives 30 miles to work each day I would agree with you. | |
