Salarios Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 You are right, there are hidden costs associated with electric car production that doesn't get much attention. Lithium mining causes water pollution, land erosion, and lack of proper lithium recycling has environmental impacts. But the reason it doesn’t get attention is because they are local problems. And greenhouse gas emissions caused by combustion engines are a global problem. I believe the general consensus is that the overall benefit outweighs the costs, and that's why electric cars are projected to grow from around 5 million currently to over 130 million in a decade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 I think it’s better to run an old car until it dies rather than buy a new car, environmentally speaking. The Old car isn’t going to create any more pollution than its exhaust smoke because it’s already there but the new car will create extra pollution in the manufacturing process. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
