FILE - Electric vehicles at a public charging station. (Drew Angerer/Getty Images)With inflation driving gas prices to an all-time high, consumers are flocking to dealerships to get themselves an electric vehicle (EV). The prices may not be as competitive as some of the vehicles running on an internal combustion engine, but it's the great long-term investment many are striving to achieve while, of course, minimizing their carbon footprint.  But are these cars — which manufacturers boast are better for the environment — as green as they seem?  One of the biggest issues that come up when comparing the environmental impacts of EVs versus internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) is the battery.  Experts have weighed in on the controversial manufacturing surrounding EV batteries and while many huge automakers such as Chevrolet and Ford are starting to pump out EV models, consumers are still left to wonder: Do the environmental impacts outweigh the potential long-term benefits of moving towards an EV-dominated world? Let’s look at some of the myths surrounding EV batteries.  There isn’t really a clear-cut true-or-false narrative when it comes to answering this question. Most of the current battery chemistry relies on lithium and cobalt.
