Strange Days for EVs

Strange Days for EVs

Bloomberg & EVs

Bloomberg is not exactly painting a rosy picture for EVs.

From the effects on the environment due to mining minerals for EVs in Indonesia...

...to "The Dirty, Deadly Price We Pay for Clean Cars"...

...and the European drop in EV sales.

There is More

Another strange item of note these days is China's EV cemeteries which are ongoing even while China's EV prices are undercutting those of other major OEMs.

To anyone with the smallest bit of financial understanding, this is a HUGE red flag. (No pun intended.)

Then the fact that buying an EV with the specific purpose of reducing CO2 emissions which costs an average of USD12,500 per tCO2 reduced, ends up as a glaring oddity considering that this can be done for as little as USD5 per tCO2.

Strange Days

These are definitely strange days for EVs, with all the above and more leaving the idea that EVs will save Earth from its current level of greenhouse gases originating from the transportation sector on very shaky ground.
