According to The World Bank’s Climate-Smart Mining Initiative, The total emissions for lithium extraction and processing in Chile, which then proceeds to South Korea for cell manufacturing and vehicle assembly is 1.5 tons of greenhouse gasses per electric car.
An electric car running on electricity generated from mixed sources over a period of 8 years, will emit 10.88 tons of greenhouse gasses
A pollution car running on petrol over a period of 8 years will emit 40.56 tons of greenhouse gasses.
So as you can see there is absolutely no comparison, a petrol powered car emits insane amounts of greenhouse gasses compared to EV’s and we have not even featured petrol car manufacturing emissions in the discussion.
If you want another study by a car manufacturer, here is Volkswagen’s Technical Development unit’s report studying the carbon footprint of EV’s vs ICE. The result is clear. EV’s are way better.
All links are in the description. The next time you encounter misleading articles or videos about Lithium Mining, you may send these links to educate them better!
