It is truly amazing how many internal combustion engine engineers apparently are on this i3 site, who apparently suck at their job so much they have someone else design "the future of automotive transportation". If it were me, I'd be embarrassed.
Gentlemen, everything pollutes regardless if it has an engine that converts stored energy from on form to another, or if it is a battery storage device that was filled with electrical energy created from another loss-full energy production method, or an on-board fuel cell. Any energy loss is pollution, so by definition it is not "green" or "greener" - seriously what the F does that mean? The Earth will stay inhabitable for 32 milliseconds longer than if we didn't kill off Hummer and the Ford Excursion? Please - lol.
Everything is recyclable over time and with money, there's no magical battery or car that is recyclable without pollution. My E90 is just as recyclable as the i3.
