Why EVs Aren't a Climate Change Panacea

Cars That Think

“Electric cars will not save the climate. Nevertheless, for EVs themselves to become true zero emission vehicles, everything in their supply chain from mining to electricity production must be nearly net-zero emission as well. If Birol were from Maine, he might have simply observed , “You can’t get there from here.”
