Instead of banning technical solutions like ICE, we should enforce limits on the total emission from production to end-of-life of a vehicle. Another huge factor should be the ecological impact of a solution. From mining, refining to disposal.

The ecological crisis of our age is global warming. Clean mining is important, but it should not be the overriding factor. I agree that the total emissions from production to end of life are important, though

As a Danish I was surprised to see so many adult Americans and Germans blame climate change on dirty streets and rivers in India and not the GHG emissions from developed countries (and our Chinese factories).

Or maybe it's willful ignorance to protect important GHG emission intensive industries in the US and Germany.

We should also ban ICEs.

Or we could make a generalized solution, like a carbon tax, that will minimize the government picking winners.

Maybe EV should sense the CO2 profile of current production in grid when it charges. And then increase internal counter until max value is reached. At this time it must immediately hard brick all the components present.
