EV MYTH ONE: Manufacturing EVs is just as bad for the environment as ICEVs. It makes sense that electric vehicles are better for the environment than their ICEV counterparts, as they aren’t powered by fossil fuels. Vehicle manufacturing is an energy-intensive process. In comparison, EV engines run on lithium batteries.

For our country to benefit from the intrinsic value of cobalt, currently boosted by the development of carbon-free energies, it was essential that measures be taken to support the formalisation of this industry. We welcome this announcement and are excited at the prospect of supporting Trafigura’s agreement with EGC.

Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. For EVs, much of the environmental burden centers on the production of batteries, the most energy- and resource-intensive component of the vehicle. AFP/Getty Images.
