It's not enough it's worse : basically by buying an electric car you're outsourcing your pollution to China and Africa.

Aren't a lot of electric cars (e.g. Tesla, Nissan Leaf) made in the US from batteries made in the US?

Where do rare earth materials contained in the batteries come from ? To the best of my knowledge it comes from Africa and China.
