I wish this was extended to many other products. Automobiles for example, should incorporate the costs associated with poisoning our air (including EVs as rubber tyres shed microparticles).
A bottle of coke should incorporate the cost of fishing the plastic out of the ocean.
- ehnto 6y agoTires and brakes are both emitters, admittedly with motor braking you probably emit less total brake dust in an EV in a comparatively heavy ICE car. Also still included in an EV is the carbon cost of mining, refining and manufacturing: - Metal parts - Plastic parts - Organic fabric parts (raising cattle, big cost. Pleather? Still costly, and now it's plastic too, can't win) - Battery minerals and production - Electronics manufacturing - Glass manufacturing I am still all for EVs mind you, hell yes. But they are a massively consumptive item.
