I would like that EVs would prove to be solution to carbon footprint reduction.
Its just that with information I looked at so far, for ex. the fact batteries do not seem to last more than 130,000 Km and the expansion of lithium mining it looks like the jury
is still out of EVs really are helping reducing overall carbon footprint. If you look at some of the studies you will seen depending on the data there a reduction only of 10% maybe 15% and according to other sources its basically flat.
I would love to be proven wrong, as clearly we are facing a climate change emergency.Plus hydrogen as a solution does not seem to be around the corner. Producing hydrogen also has its challenges.
