Electric vehicles typically have a smaller operating carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging. With the full cradle-to-grave life cycle in mind, the question becomes: does an EV have a smaller carbon footprint over its lifetime than an ICEV? Manufacturing an Electric Vehicle.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) supplies about 70% of cobalt. So, to satisfy the new recycling rules, Europe’s manufacturers could, perversely, need to import recycled material, in particular from China—which, along with South Korea, has become an important global centre for battery recycling.

Reeling from a crushing shortage of semiconductor chips for vehicles, carmakers also face another looming crisis: producing enough batteries to drive the global pivot towards electric vehicles. The Democratic Republic of Congo produces 70 percent of the world's cobalt, and most of the world's nickel sits under Indonesian rainforests.
