In carbon production terms it is just moving the 'problem' elsewhere.

Oh and remember the batteries are safe .... As Richard Hammond found when he trashed the Rimac electric car.

I agree entirely and think the trend is just to fool the general public that they are buying something 'green' when clearly in terms of carbon footprint from cradle to grave production they are not. Its the same kind of con that they have going with 'carbon footprint' trading that goes on between big corparations to lo make them look 'greener'.
