I've read that most of the cobalt used in the battery to power an electric car is mined in The Congo. Children as young as four are employed in the mines, minimal wages, virtually forced labour. I suggest this needs to be taken into consideration too.

That said,  I think an electrically powered Austin Seven would be quite a novelty.  ( I now expect to be shot down for sacrilege !)
