It comes with a cost. BEVs weighing more than equivalent ICE vehicles. That has the effect of making tire life lower (in combination with the torque) and a number of areas are looking to slap restrictions due to potential road damage particularly on the larger BEVs. Like the pickup trucks and SUVs.
It’s not only tire, a friend had to spend a large sum of money redoing his Tesla’s suspension, again a consequence of weight.

I know a lot of people having Tesla, and none of them have had issues with suspension (mainly Model 3 and Y, also some Model S and X) and I have also owned a Tesla myself for 3 years now, and not experienced any issues with suspension. Of course some people have experienced issues with suspension, like your friend, but it may not be as widespread as some may think.

There have been stories about the difficulties of recycling Li-ion batteries. Here’s another about wind turbine blades and solar panels. Can’t remember where I saw the recent pictures of an entire wind farm that was ripped apart by strong winds. Some big numbers about waste in Canada which isn’t exactly a leading way as a wind and solar producer albeit there is significant expansion. At least four provinces are committed to nuclear SMRs.

Nuclear are gaining back momentum thankfully. Even in nation like Indonesia that's for decades only manage to build 3 research reactor and no nuclear power plant, had seems changing the approach.



US base Thorcon got better traction on Jokowi's last term, also related to MinDef interest with Thorium reactor. Seems Prabowo's shown interest to keep momentum for Nuclear on his next administration.

For decades environment green NGO idiots interest ironically colliding with fossil fuel (especially Coals) business lobby to halt any Nuclear power plant development. Now seems many realise that zero emissions can realistically achievable only with Nuclear.

Prabowo's seems want to hedge both US Thorcon and Russian Rossatom for Nuclear power plant. Will see how the development.
