unfortunately all you have done in essence is purchased a coal-fired Datsun.........

no-one (in authority anyhows) seems to be able to answer what the real world issues are behind the Lithium mines, power station emissions (a lot of which seem to be either burning fuels brought half way around the world or have massive end of life / waste issues), etc. and thats before you get to actual purchase costs
