how long does it take an electric car to write off a used ( already depreciated)gas( not diesel) with its lithium batteries and material? is it really more environment friendly in long term or unless the production industry go green it is more like a hype rather than a real impact regarding all production cycle? in short, are electric cars really as green as we think?
In: Technology
The overall carbon emissions will be several times lower than for a car which burns fossil fuels even when the manufacturing costs are taken into account. But electric cars still have the same ethical consequences around resource extraction and the same social impacts such as causing road deaths and car infrastructure destroying communities. So while they’re better than a fossil fuel car from a purely environmental standpoint they’re just the same in a bunch of other ways and will never be as good as public transport or cycling.
