That video is a really interesting take on the question. For the first half. The maker does a great job of quantifying the cost of producing, refining and distributing petrol and diesel. While watching the first half I was thinking "wow, this is looking a bit like a slam-dunk". Then he moved on to the cost of producing EVs, touched on the cost of lithium, and rapidly concluded that indeed he had produced a slam-dunk.
Oi, not so fast!
I've attached a PDF which breaks down the composition of modern (2020) EV batteries and this shows an "average" battery containing only about 3% lithium. The video focuses on this as the cost of building an EV and ignores the other 97% of the battery plus of course all of the other gubbins which go to make a car of either persuasion. At this point it becomes obvious that the maker of the video either doesn't know schmick about vehicles, or is deliberately misleading potential viewers; I suspect the latter.
I claim a reasonably scientific and logical mind. I tend to think that for instance a ZS EV is probably a bit more environmentally friendly than a petrol ZS, but I don't believe for a moment that the difference is major. I also suspect that a ZS EV is probably not as environmentally friendly as something like a petrol powered Suzuki Swift, but again I doubt if the difference is major.
I currently have an MG HS PHEV (and a ZS EV on order) not because I have any notions of saving the world, rather because the life cycle dollar cost to me of these cars is probably going to be greatly less than pretty much any ICE car, they're both really nice to drive, and both are nicer to be around in an urban environment where I spend most of my time.
The video is garbage.
