In New York, people are cleaning the walls as a result of years being polluted by cars.

Goes beyond that.

The electricity mostly comes from fossil fuels.

And even worse: Lithium batteries are absolutely awful for not just the environment but for mankind. The mining processes for the matierials needed is a miserable and hyper risky process. Furthermore, it's terrible for the communities and surrounding areas at each mining site.

The battery itself is dangerous, especially if broken or punctured. If it catches fire, most fire departments are not equipped to extinguish them. The best solution is to literally let it burn out.

We need better batteries and a better way of sourcing the electricity before these provide a better carbon footprint.
