Battery recycling shatters the myth of EV waste – ET Auto

Baua Electric

As a result, the initial carbon footprint of an EV is higher than a comparable internal combustion engine vehicle.Those upfront emissions are paid back over time with the superior efficiency of electric motors, leading to a 70% reduction in total emissions over the average life of the vehicle.
