The environmental impact of electric cars

Drive Electric

Fully electric vehicles are zero-emission and their batteries can be charged using renewable energy. This is cleaner and better for the environment than producing petrol and diesel. In comparison – a combustion engine car’s brakes convert kinetic energy into wasted heat to slow the vehicle. What is regenerative braking?

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Aqua Metals has pioneered a new electro-hydrometallurgy process that uses renewable electricity and recycles the chemicals used. Aqua Metals has developed a process that it says is much cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective. We use renewable electricity to plate high-purity metals, which is much more efficient.

Why EVs Aren't a Climate Change Panacea

Cars That Think

This is due to the 30 to 40 percent increase in emissions EVs create in comparison to manufacturing an ICE vehicle, mainly from its battery production. Just accounting for miles driven , however, BEVs cars and trucks appear cleaner than ICE equivalents nearly everywhere in the U.S.

How Do EVs Compare To Gas Cars?

Wallbox

In comparison, traditional combustion engines take longer to get engine-generated power to the wheels and might need to rev up in order to reach maximum torque. To put things into perspective, this means you could easily go from Brussels to Paris (316 km) or from London to Liverpool (350 km) without any stops for charging.
