The Environmental Impact of Electric Vehicles

So if an electric vehicle catches fire, sets other vehicles, electric and gas, on fire, is it still "zero emissions?" Burned-Out Car Carrier Sinks in Pacific Three Weeks After Fire Began

MV Morning Midas a car carrier en route from China to Mexico caught fire 3 weeks ago. It contained 3,000 vehicles, of which about 800 were EVs. It sank in approximately 5,000 meters of water, about 360 nautical miles southwest of the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

And then there is the vessel that sank.

As a precaution, two salvage tugs containing pollution control equipment remain on site to monitor for any signs of pollution or debris. A specialized pollution response vessel is also en route to the location as an additional precaution. The vessel also reportedly had 350 metric tons of marine gas oil (MGO) and 1,530 metric tons of very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) onboard.

But hey, go ahead and pretend that they are good the environment.
