"I think the battery is the most complicated component in the EV, and has the most complex supply chain," George Crabtree, director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Joint Center for Energy Storage Research, told CNBC, adding that the energy source used in battery production makes a huge difference on the carbon footprint for EVs.
Mining raw materials needed for battery production will likely be the last to get decarbonized, according to Crabtree.Experts said that can change over time as raw materials needed for battery production are in limited supply, leaving firms with no choice but to recycle. Most auto companies are already working to ensure they have significant recycling capacity in place before EVs start reaching the end of life over the next decade, he added.
Carbon emissions is higher in the beginning for EVs and break even take between a year to 5 6 depending on how the power grid is clean. Mining is a big issue. So no not so green but people think they are saving the world driving that so why not.
No. Batteries are hazard waste, steel made with coal, plastics on car come from oil and if electricity used comes from fossil fuel, hell no not green. Wind turbine uses oil and blades made by coal. Less carbon maybe. Lies. Hydrogen is the solution, not EV’s.
This is a catastrophe in my state where ALNGO AMERICA AND VALE destroyed a city in seconds…. I am not against mining, I just don’t like fake news that electrical cars are our solution! They are not ! We need to invest in other alternatives and needs to be fast!
Not true! Batteries are not green! And destroy cities and it’s land scape !
Bitcoin fixes this
Complicated means no really.
EV not greener than petrol cars - how many miles does it have to do before it is regarded as greener? EV does a lot of environmental damage before it is driven, after the car becomes useless. Car manufacturers are the worst judges of environmental solutions Pres. Biden POTUS
Therefore need to create a new kind of fuel! Scientists have already developed so-called e-fuels, so they have to figure out now how to produce a new kind of fuel on a mass and cheap scale!🙂So maybe in 10 years the electric car will no longer be in fashion!🙂
100% zero emissions in the world are not possible, because if you want 100% zero emissions, then you have to close all the factories and boiler houses in the world!😉
Ocean mining for the raw materials for these batteries/EV's is not too great for the oceans.
Sir, so should we be investing in tech? Refer to below link for more. Analysis -
You. Cannot. Stop. Global. Warming. It’s science. Basic science.
Geothermal energy is great, efficient but does anyone use it. Also ask yourself why water pipes buried underground don’t burst in the winter. But sometimes in your own home water pipes sometimes burst.
WRONG!!! It is NOT 'GREEN' The recharging is coming from fossil fuel! Electric cars are ineffective. After 238 miles you need to recharge and it takes 11HRS!!!
Yes but we gotta burn that coal to make the electricity ⚡️
They are in some instances. Depends on the person and many variables.
Cars, sure...energy source, nope!
Their not, but it fits the lib narrative so they will keep pushing it
NO, no they are not.
