Why EVs Aren't a Climate Change Panacea

Cars That Think

Electric cars will not save the climate. This is not to imply in any way that electric vehicles are worthless. Nevertheless, for EVs themselves to become true zero emission vehicles, everything in their supply chain from mining to electricity production must be nearly net-zero emission as well.

IEA: governments must act to ensure sufficient supply of critical minerals to meet net-zero goals

Green Car Congress

A typical electric car requires six times the mineral inputs of a conventional car, and an onshore wind plant requires nine times more mineral resources than a similarly sized gas-fired power plant. However, in climate-driven scenarios, these positions are reversed well before 2040. Source: IEA. Source: IEA.

Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

Wind farms stand idle for days on end, a fire interrupts a vital cable from France, a combination of post-Covid economic recovery and Russia tightening supply means the gas price has shot through the roof – and so the market price of both home heating and electricity is rocketing. Climate Change.

It highlighted the vulnerability of Australia to respond to a threat to supply caused through War, an Economic Collapse and/or Environmental Disaster. It’s fine to get additional oil supplies to help insure against catastrophe but that is not enough by itself. Of course the Air Vice Marshall’s warnings were totally ignored.

What is Electrification of Transportation?

Driivz

For the transportation sector, electrification means replacing fossil fuels with electricity as the means of powering light-duty vehicles, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and buses. The primary goal is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, ultimately, contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change on the planet.

How EVs Are Helping Humanity & Saving Lives?

Get Electric Vehicle

Fuel cell powered EVs: Fuel cells generate electricity by dividing electrons from hydrogen molecules. In fuel cell cars we do not have to recharge the battery. Instead, we have to supply hydrogen just like we fill gasoline but the car will be powered by electric motors just like a normal electric car.

How To Make Sure EV Infrastructure Is Energy Efficient

EV Connect

Public policy and manufacturing initiatives are rapidly shifting toward electric vehicles (EV). But as the push toward all-electric roadways gets more aggressive, so does the pushback. These improvements could, for instance, allow the energy supply to shift seamlessly from your offices to your EV charging stations based on demand.
