It is not denied that the shifting of Diesel or Petrol vehicle to Electric Vehicle is not worth. Major car manufacturers have added electric vehicles in their vehicle list. Transformation to Electric vehicle definitely reduced the emission. But that doesn't mean Electric car are 100% green and Eco friendly. Most people believe that electric vehicle are best example of clean and green energy but they are wrong. Let see the dark side of the aspect.
Lithium Battery are used to run the electric vehicle and to store the electricity that have high environmental cost. These batteries are made from rare earth components i.e. Lithium, nickle, graphite etc. Lithium is the main source of material for manufacturing of electric battery. The lithium mining process used a lot of water i.e. almost 2000000 litters of water per metric ton of lithium. Release of these pollute water and leak of toxic have further environmental issue. Moreover, apart from polluting water lithium mining also affects air quality around the mines. Many people living near the mining have noted this environmental issue. Thus large mining of lithium causes harm to environmental and it will cost more in future.
Secondly the source of energy for electric vehicle will not came from solar panel or turbine or nuclear energy then CO2 emission will be indirectly higher. For example charging of battery by using the electricity coming from burning the fossil fuels that means EC are not polluting but pollution was already released in some extant in power plant.
Electric vehicle are not emit CO2 while driving but it might generate during 3 stage at the time of manufacturing, energy production and at the end of its life cycle.Guys there are the dark secret of Electric vehicles.
