Re: Hmm....
still far better than anything fossil based even if the grid is totally coal powered.
On what planet do you live? EVs charged by coal would be the very worst of all worlds. For a start, the well-to-wheels efficiency of this scheme would be WORSE than just putting petrol in a car.
And on that note, why is everyone suddenly talking about cobalt usage in petrol? Did someone just tweet or something? Over 50% of the world's cobalt production goes to making EV batteries, and that's at the miniscule numbers that are currently produced.
I also don't drive a diesel car, so am I ok??
petrol refineries use the same amount of electricity as a small city to refine their product
Now we're just getting silly. No, they don't. They use some fraction of the incoming oil to power the process.
EV battery production gets its cobalt from proper verified sources.
Of course they do. I bet they come with a little certificate too!
