New report on climate impact of electric car batteries
In addition to climate emissions from battery production, the report addresses supply risks related to metals contained in lithium-ion batteries and the recycling of end-of-life batteries. According to new calculations, the production of lithium-ion batteries on average emits somewhere between 61-106 kilos of carbon dioxide …
Spearheaded by policymakers and businesses, mass production of EVs is part of a mobility transition that ignores over-consumption and the impacts of mining and production. This mobility transition, which is more a technological fix than a solution to the climate crisis, is grounded in a series of contradictions.
