Looks a bit "Rube Goldberg-ish" to me, but creative for sure.

In 2015, the Union of Concerned Scientists released a report finding that EV have lower cradle to grave emission than gasoline cars even when run on dirty electricity. EV do have a higher carbon footprint to produce compared conventional ICE, but over the life of the vehicle, reduced tailpipe emissions more than make up for it.
https://www.ucsusa.org/clean-vehicles/elect...le-ev-emissions Lithium batteries CAN be recycled, it just often isn't. https://waste-management-world.com/a/in-dep...energy-clean-up https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-bus...thium-recycling Of course EV are not perfect and will present many new challenges. Is any technology a perfect solution for the problem it is intended to solve? Why do we make perfect the enemy of the good? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Another thought... I wonder how many total engineer-hours have been devoted to gasoline vs EV vehicles since their humble beginnings around the turn of the 20th century? I'm guessing it will be some time before the cumulative effort spent on perfecting EV power plants matches that of combustion engines. |
