Today I wanted to dig into the fact we don't even seem to have enough batteries for the world to drive electric vehicles. The rhetoric about the "green" vehicles being perfect for the environment with little consequence isn't exactly 100% accurate.
Just over the last two months, we've written not only about how much driving needs to be done in EVs to make them better for the environment than internal combustion engine vehicles, but we've also noted that EV carbon footprints aren't necessarily as better than traditional vehicles as many people think.
Now, more questions are starting to be raised about the potential unintended consequences of the EV revolution. Notably, how can the metals used for EV batteries be recycled and reused as part of a circular economy before a materials crunch - or environmental impact from mining - negates the "green" label affixed to EV vehicles.
Many companies have been in hot water over the method of sourcing cobalt for batteries including Dell.
