Scientists inform us that today’s transportation sector is the largest contributor to US greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change, but how clean are lithium-ion batteries? So, how clean is EV battery manufacturing? This is 2 to 3 times lower than the 150-200kg of CO2eq estimate measured by the same researchers in 2017.

Of course, it’s just as important that the energy used to power EVs comes from a clean source itself. However, the process of obtaining raw materials and manufacturing lithium-ion batteries does generate waste and harmful emissions. As EVs are powered by energy, driving them is more environmentally friendly than using gas cars.
