Decarbonising electricity and fuel manufacturing processes whilst also paying greater attention to recycling and refurbishing are the big hurdles in regard to life-cycle assessment.
But it's really difficult to even want to be 'green' by buying an electric car when CEOs, like idiot Musk, still fly around in their PJs and my plastic shopping bags that I put in the recycling bin end up on the other side of the world, not recycled.

The problem is most humans do not understand that their existence on the planet is due to the Greenhouse effect and its natural cycling... "Saving the planet" is a ridiculous concept; however, a clean environment is not.
