These kinds of bans have attracted criticism from auto 'journalists' and legacy vehicle manufacturers who rely on ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) sales which are already faltering tremendously. Is their criticism warranted? Absolutely not. Why should the government interfere? Why should the government interfere? The answer is simple.
To answer these questions, we collaborated with Envirostrat to investigate some of the most common questions and concerns about the environmental impact that increased EV uptake will have on NZ, and in particular, how they really compare to ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles). In comparison, EV engines run on lithium batteries.
That’s around 16 times the GHG emissions of Iceland at that time, or the equivalent gas emissions of over 11 million vehicles in one year. Norway has long been a major producer of oil and gas, and remains the biggest oil producer in Western Europe, as well as, the third-largest exporter of natural gas in the world. million tonnes per year.
Other operators relying on the Max 9 include Panama’s Copa Airlines, Aeromexico, Turkish Airlines, FlyDubai and Iceland Air. All Max aircraft were then grounded around the world , for nearly two years, while company engineers worked to identify the problem. With additional reporting by Callie Holtermann and Niraj Chokshi.
