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.
