The reality is these mines are not even in use by the battery industry and they are not Lithium Mines. Using low-carbon fuels or biofuels as the source of heat energy to process lithium and manufacture li-ion batteries would cut carbon emissions by half as per world banks study. [4] tons of GHG (greenhouse gasses) per electric car [3].

I took some surplus parts and motorcycle batteries… it was definitely Rube Goldberg style,” Smith explained. Later, in graduate school at Virginia Tech, he became part of a group of engineers who visited local schools to help enhance the STEM curriculum with hands-on building of solar electric and small motor project activities. “We

Lithium is commonly used for rechargeable batteries, particularly in Electric Vehicles (EVs). According to data from the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory , a single EV’s lithium-ion battery pack contains approximately 8 kgs of lithium. Some companies have also seen success in using cobalt-free batteries.

A battery electric vehicle (BEV) uses an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. These vehicles use large traction battery packs to power the motor. So, are electric vehicles are still as eco-friendly when the manufacturing process of the car and battery are taken into consideration? THE BOTTOM LINE.

A battery electric vehicle (BEV) uses an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. These vehicles use large traction battery packs to power the motor. What’s less clear, is whether electric vehicles are still as eco-friendly when the manufacturing process of the car and battery are taken into consideration.
