How is EV greener in the long term than combustible engine vehicles?

1.15K views

Don’t get me wrong. I know the vehicle itself will have way lower emissions and than a regular gas or diesel vehicle, but what I’m confused on is that they will have to mine to get the raw materials to make these batteries and then once the battery is done it’s lifespan they will need to find a way to dispose or recycle these batteries. Imagine doing that capacity when the whole world has transitioned to EV.

Small ICE engines are less efficient than power plants. Less efficient= more emissions.

Also gas refining, transportation etc are not very efficient.

In reality though there is a lot more to it.
