"Yes, it takes energy to pull oil out of the ground and refine it - and it pollutes the environment. I'd like to see the stats and compare what it costs to extract all rare metals and other raw element as well as the amount of energy it takes to convert those into batteries and other components for EVs. Can all EV components be recycled once the cars are old and pour to rest?"
And it pollutes to take oil and gas out of the ground and convert it (refine it). And that doesn't include the occasional major accidents that cause huge oil spills. And, of course, there are the methane burn offs at the well heads.
