At every price point and with multiple powertrains, we can put more people in cleaner automobiles across North America to have the greatest near-term impact on total carbon emissions. Toyota shared highlights of new internal research evaluating the environmental impact and cost of ownership between a PHEV and a BEV.

As the world grapples with the urgent need to transition to cleaner energy systems, a growing number of researchers are delving into the design and optimization of emerging technologies. Energy systems are not static, he emphasized. Hydrogen, with its high energy per mass, holds promise as a cleaner alternative.

Some types of lithium mining require a lot of water and energy and have led to local pollution, such as in South America’s alpine lakes. The extent to which renewables should dominate Australia’s energy grids is a major issue in science and politics. Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity.

A couple of drawbacks to consider might be the capitalization costs of building these stations and the batteries that they would have to have in stock. The losses for the utilities by far outweigh the costs for erecting counting plugs. Beware of businessmen trying to make a fortune with the wish to shift to cleaner propulsion!
