Net positive impact including the "usage" of 372000 liters of water per hour [1].

Great read, thanks for sharing.

Water use is a bit of a misnomer though. It's not like agriculture where the water gets "fed" to plants and mostly evaporates.

Tesla plans to recycle/reuse most of the water at the Giga Berlin plant: https://insideevs.com/news/526187/tesla-minimizes-water-use-...

And yes, the positive impact of electric cars even considering all raw materials and water is unequivocal.
