I'll refer back to my post earlier in this thread - how much strip mining is going to have to be done now to get all of the lithium and other elements for this massive increase of battery production out of the ground ?Originally Posted by Big H
Therin lies a big issue - mulltiple journalists investigting same have been stonewalled by the manufacturers. What is the end-to-end CO2 output from an electric vehicle ?
What is the carbon footprint from mining the lithium/other elements from the ground that go into e-car batteries, coupled with the manufacturing/assembly process ? Nobody truely knows and the vehicle manufacturers are certainly not going to/probably never will divulge this info.....
How are we also going to generate the massive increase of electricity to keep the country mobile ?
