But yeah, all good because the air in our cities gets marginally cleaner.
Can we stop virtue signaling already? You are not a better person because you bought an EV. Buying more stuff is not going to save the planet.

Just to be clear, BMW does not use rare earth metals, ie Cobalt, in their EV motors. They are much more ‘earth friendly’ than other manufacturers. So many people don’t understand that there are significant design differences between manufacturer’s electric motors. BMW knows how to build motors, regardless of the power source (fuel or ions creating a magnetic field).
