    This article has nothing to do with EVs really. It’s about shitty chemical companies that have been polluting the environment producing chemical for other purposes previously, which now are also used in EVs.

    This is an article about the need to regulate chemical companies but it’s being used as FUD for EVs.

      It absolutely has something to do with EVs, because there are massive new factories spewing out PFAS exclusively for the production of PVDF for batteries for EVs. You can just ignore this link. That being said, we absolutely need to regulate these chemical companies and that’s the “main issue”. Pretending like these real issues are FUD isn’t helpful though because the actual FUDsters don’t care about reality anyway. Even the EU has a special exemption for PFAS for EV battery production.
