Electric Vehicle Batteries
A New AutoMotive brief
EXCERPT
▪️ There is significant past and ongoing R&D centred around making the production of electric batteries cleaner and thus reducing the embedded emissions involved in manufacturing an electric vehicle.
▪️ There is scope for much more significant improvement in electric batteries - how they are produced, used and recycled - than there is with fossil fuels.
▪️ The government can support the progress being made in this sector by implementing ambitious battery regulation, which protects human and labour rights as well as providing environmental protections.
▪️ The problems that exist around the extraction of these mineral resources were not created by EV battery production - they are long standing - but they have received increased public attention because of it.
