What about hydroelectric?
still have to manufacture the batteries.
to my knowledge, there is no such thing as green battery manufacturing now. you're going to have to deal with the waste of spent batteries plus the waste of procuring the substances needed for them (lead? sulfuric acid? lithium? nickel and cadmium?)
No such thing as zero anything. What did it take to make the batteries? Did they use coal to provide electricity for that plant or nuclear energy? The joke is on us who have believed there is such thing as clean energy source. You get dirty to get clean

-1. It's not rubbish at all.
Zero emissions is possible from the vehicle. It can be run without using any power (assuming you have a set of solar panels on your roof, drive very little and don't use those solar panels to power anything else).
..are you suggesting that electric race bikes have all that???
oh, wait...
So, is it zero emissions in practice? Nope. But it's possible, and that's something you can't say for an internal combustion engine in anything.
what is
possible is irrelevant. it's
possible for me to fly and fart dixie
if only i could defy gravity and control my bowels to that extent.
and that is the religion of the "zero emissions" crowd --
IfonlyismIt's also much easier for the EPA to monitor a few powerstations per state to ensure they meet emissions than it is to monitor the three hundred million plus vehicles the US has on its streets.
and those power stations emit waste
