Reducing emissions from battery production will be key to true EV sustainability

Insights
AutotechInsight Analysis Monthly

Electric vehicle batteries are essential for reducing emissions but face sustainability challenges due to energy-intensive mining, complex manufacturing, limited recycling, and supply chain emissions, necessitating cleaner energy use and improved recycling for a greener future.

Electric vehicles are considered more environmentally friendly than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles due to their zero tailpipe emissions. However, new environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards are evaluating the sustainability of the entire value chain, not just the operational life of the product, and questioning how eco-friendly EVs really are.
