Nasty psychological perception trick: smoke is hardly visible compared to quarries and landfills, and there is visibly more atmosphere volume than ground surface.
- ppf 6y agoPersonally, my issue with EV battery (and electronics!) lifecycles is for precisely the opposite reason - the quarries and landfills in question are far far away from the places where EVs are actually used. All that most people will see is a local reduction in air pollution, so unless the topic is discussed, the general perception will be that all is well.
